    Very old joggers usually but shorts if its warm enough and old T shirt worn not tucked in, so the dirt and grit does not drop into my nether regions. :eek:
    I sometimes wear an old pair of trainers - they have holes in top. Wellingtons if its digging. What i don't like about wellies is that if you are grubbing about weeding, i shuffle along. I always seem to get my wellies full of dirt. My feet then always look disgusting after gardening.
    If its sunny then i wear my straw hat. If its raining then my gortex hat with ear muffs, but they are worn up.

    In good weather I usually wear white trousers, white shirt, Panama hat and sit with my bare feet up on a cushion, a drink of Champers in hand and direct the gardeners through a megaphone. In bad weather I usually go to the Caribbean [​IMG] :D

    It seems Geoff you might not be on your own there ,no matter what I wear on my feet they always seem like something like the feet one would expect the Creature from the Black Lagoon to have pretty nasty! :eek:

    Keving...what colour thong would that be? Shocking pink to clash with those red wellies! [​IMG]

    NewbieGreen....you sound just like our postie even when it's snowing he is wearing his faithful shorts! :confused:

    Shiney...You get the servants to do the hard work for you then? :D

    Helen. I've told you about this muddy feet problem. Spats are the answer. Or in very wet weather - flippers, frogman style.

    How about Drivin' wellies? I wear mine for traipsing round the woods, they have neoprene lining and zip up the sides for a snug fit. A bit pricey at 45.00 but last forever, they reach to just below the knee.

    I must say tho that i prefer Kevings idea :D

    I wear stretch black jeans and a top with "hidden support" so I don't have those bra straps getting in the way, but don't look like Charlie D! Photo of the get-up is in Gardener's Photos months ago! :D

    It's very fetching!
