Does anyone know of a website like Mumsnet that caters for the more mature person? My Mother (you know the one) is looking (don't laugh) for a certain type of wellington boot (Gerdeners) and she can't find them anywhere. I told her I'd have a look for her but the search engine isn't bringing anything up on wellies that I can find. Thanks. R.

Have I found just the site for you! www.gardenersworld.beeb.com (search in the gardening products shopping bit for clothing and then boots) They seem to have some snazzy styles for the fashion conscious gardener.

Rhiannon - it doesn't take much to confuse me but did you mistype gardeners or is gerdeners a certain make of welly? I'm not tyrying to be a clever dick, just thought I better check.

Chanelno5, no it's definitely Gerdeners! R.

Rhiannon - do you think perhaps she'd prefer a pair of gardeners wellies, afterall you can get some corkers from the gardenersworld website? OK, perhaps not, so I shall persevere and try to track down these illusive Gerdeners. I never realised there was so much variety in the welly department!

After all this mucking about I've just been in Mother's garage and on the label it says

Gardeners II Made in Gates Scotland, no Gerdeners at all!

I'll keep trying as she uses them for rambles and apparently they're very comfy!

Rhiannon - this has come as a great relief to me, I was beginning to have nightmares about 'Gerdeners'. When I searched on Google it came up with no matches and asked me if i meant Gardeners - oh how I laughed.......... sorry, I'm off to bed now it's been a long day!

Finally found my wellies after about 15 phone calls. Have had to buy them mail order, I do hope they fit! R.
