a) but let me get this straight, you have specific clothes for gardening?

hmm

vacant no

gosh

oh Ruby I love my decorating clothes

they are a pair of Miss Selfridge dungarees I bought when I was 16

they were incredibly Bananarama

can't you wear your decorating clothes for gardening?

And save the long black skirt for a Halloween party?

oh you are no use any of you

I am still dithering

the kids are sunburning while I dither

if you cut it, you will get grassy knees; if you leave it you will get a grassy skirt. But if you have concrete/stone etc, it will provide a modicum of protection.

I say leave, and put on a pair of trousers...

dh has just found me Asking Mumsnet

he says it is as if I am consulting mystics

walk away from the scissors and shears, grab a long cool drink and test out your garden furniture.
