I seem to have come in a bit late on this one - now orbiting another universe. Oh well, I still want to tell you that after years of despising gloves 'just can't feel what you are doing' - I was sent some Showa gloves from NZ and they are brilliant! They fit very firmly and are just like a second skin. The only time I don't wear them is when I am pricking out tiny seedlings. Apart from that, they are on all the time - great for weeding even small weeds, so my hands now only get 'dusty' not dirty - don't need scrubbing. Further, OH being a bloke, refused to wear his for months, until finally agreeing to try them, just so he could tell them back in NZ what he thought. He is now a convert and wears them most of the time. These gloves are machine washable too. I've now bought several pairs each. They are no good for handling blackberries or roses and I do still get stung by nettles on the back of the hand (just mesh there), but for everyday looking after your hands, they are wonderful.

Glad to see everyone read the question at the start of the thread, eh NOG.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
