Recommendations - Gloves and Secateurs Please

There are the rolls Royce of gardening gloves. £25 to £39. I find them a bit thick to wear for much other than dealing with thorns - bramble and hawthorns mainly. The ladies size were to small for OH. I bought a pair from Trentham Gardens.

These look similar to some I bought from a local gardening centre for £6 recently. There are flexible to use for most jobs. The brand there was Town and Country. I find them OK for dealing with brambles as long as I'm careful.

My son used a pair of these when he did a job gardening for people in the village several years ago and they still have some life left in them though some of the rubber is coming off now.
