Just an update on Big Hands, which some of you told me were what I
needed for gathering leaves. I got them in a garden centre and am
finding them very useful, but I'll be able to get on faster without
the aid of my 3 1/2 year old grandson who has spent a weekend trying
to help!
Thanks for all the advice.

I had a pair and found them useful, but not robust enough as they broke
after about 4 sessions use.

I believe Lakeland used to do them. Have never had any.

Yes,Duncan, they don't seem very strong! I'll take care!

June, I did look at the Lakeland site but could not find them there.
Anyway, the postage would have doubled the price!
Thanks.

Ah! Right. It was some time ago that I saw them. Perhaps they
withdrew them, - in the light of what Duncan has just told us.

You should get him a pair of little big hands so's he can help granny.

Well I've had mine years and used them lots with no problems.

I bought mine in Wikinson's (in Union St, Pam, opposite the Galleries) I
stepped on one, which didn't do it much good so I bought another pair and
have a spare. Before I found Big Hands I used a couple of pieces of
hardboard.

They are so cheap that you could buy a pair for each member of the family.
They would make a great extra Christmas present.

Thanks for that John. Next time I'm there I'll see if I can get a
spare pair.
