Nose care

Isn't it odd - not matter how cold the weather, you never see a TV gardener with a runny nose? And isn't it a pain to have to down tools, take off gloves, rummage in your pocket for an increasingly muddy handkerchief? When my husband's large handkerchiefs get worn and tatty, I appropriate them for garden use. One in the pocket for when I need a good blow, and one wrapped round my wrist and secured with a rubber band so I can wipe away a dewdrop in an instant.

Tee hee - what a good idea!
It's what gloves are for...not that I oftne wear them in the garden.
In which case - that's what sleeves are for....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
But I often garden with an audience, as I volunteer in a local public park. Handkerchief is a bit more refined. At home, I use my sleeve like everyone else.
Philippa - a big advantage of hillwalking in winter is the gloves - nice big fleecy ones. They're ideal. The lighter ones for spring or autumn are never as absorbent

WHEN I FOUND THAT I WAS SUFFERING FROM SOMETHING WHICH PRODUCED SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO RAYNAUD'S SYNDROME I BOUGHT A PAIR OF THESE.

If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
SNIFF LOUDLY.
THERE WAS A WOMAN WHO WORKED IN THE STUDENT CANTEEN, DOLING OUT PLATES OF CHIPS AND SHE ALWAYS MANAGED A HEFTY SNIFF AS SHE HANDED THEM OUT.

Crickey! It's not just me then. I always start to sneeze or get a runny nose when I am in the garden. I now keep a handy box of tissues just inside the patio door so I can have a good old blow just in case I don't have a tissue on me.
It's still a pain having to come in to use the "little girls room" especially when my hands are filthy and I have to take off my footwear....grrrr.
I've improved on the man's handkerchief and rubber band system. I'm busily upcycling worn bedlinen into these elasticated cuffs for nosewiping. I get eight of them out of a pillowslip. I'm hoping to make enough to give all my gardening friends two each for Christmas, one to wash and one in use.
