The message
from Serendipity contains these words:
If I were you
Janet I suggest that you speak to someone who
has a hose which has a reel which has a wind-back
handle on it if you wish to avoid man-handling lengths
of hose.

That's what I've got atm, perfectly good hose for many years until we
moved here and the removal men broke the handle, so the stump isn't very
easy to wind up :-( .

I very seldom water anything planted in the garden, but I do
frequently water my large collection of plants in pots, and that's what
I fancy the coiled thingy for.
