Roses are vicious little wotsits.

That and dangling blackberry briars. I moved to the left a few days ago to avoid a dog shaking a load of water off itself and caught my ear on a briar! It was quite an operation to remove it (the briar rather than my ear) and keep my legs dry at the same time!

Gardening gloves Andy. They're life savers. :D

I'm always stabbing myself with the embroidery needles too Caroline, I've started using a thimble, but it's so clumsy.
