    Am I allowed to wear gloves and kneelers?!  A 70ish friend of mine takes part in an annual naked bike ride.  My mum asked him if he was being sponsored for charity?  He said no, but some people have offered me money to keep my clothes on.

    Much of what I have seen of naturists’ camps reminds me I need to do the ironing. Too many wrinkles.

    Thanks @Thankthecat but we prefer the small sites without a club or bar.  Our favourite is just outside Skegness.

    Being naked in your own garden is pretty inoffensive.

    After being accused of eyeing up one of the local toothless old crones while I was just watering my tomatoes - I despair at the errant poisonous imaginations and paranoias of some human beings. 

    It's a little too hazardous in our garden for such frivolities.

    21°C here on Saturday.  The only view overlooking my garden is my neighbours daughters room and she’s already complained about my singing in the garden so...no.

    I have no problem with nudity, but there’s many reasons we wear clothes.  I can’t see naked gardening being a great idea. Snip, snip.

    I often garden naked, I love an all over tan.
    We used to take our kids to a nudist beach in Gran Canaria. I told them the first time we went:
    " there are two types of people , men and women, once you've seen a lot of naked men, and a lot of naked women, after that, they're pretty much all the same"
    "it's ok to look, but don't point, don't stare and don't laugh"
    My younger daughter piped up : 
    " some bits are bigger and some bits are smaller" 
    "yes,and sometimes bigger is good and sometimes bigger isn't so good" 
    I think some folk suffer from what I call " page 3 syndrome" i.e. nudity =sex.

    I have no problems with being naked ... done a bit of life modelling, skinny dipping etc,  love fresh air on my skin ... but our house has big windows and a 'glass wall' ....... Aaaaaargh! the reflections! the reflections!  :o

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Ha ha Dove! I know what you mean... I used to work as a life model too, and still have a lovely oil of me in my younger days painted by the lovely late Mick Cawston. Every time I look at that, and then in the mirror, I wonder what the hell happened!
