  When the days are cold and stormy, I just get out my garden planters and create - either great arrangements for the house or wonderful containers for those Christmas towels and soaps in the bathroom.

  Christmas pressies this year are wellies for daughter and son-in-law with thick socks so I can have mine back, Dad some pruning tools as he's mislaid his thats through his old age, I want some new buckets to keep all the foliage that I cut for my class of ladies that I teach in my workshops as I have so much that I run out of them and now have to use the dustbin.

  I would love an old fashioned wire hoe but cannot seem to get hold of one these days - if anyone has any ideas where I could buy one I would be very grateful.

  I rather doubt it, Ms Sock, I fear that the large hole on the underside of the left toe precludes such elevated kinship.
