Me too he's not behaved like this over the last 2 winters.
I genuinely believe they have personalities and that these change as they get older.
Patterns seem to emerge, but then they'll go and break them.
They go through phases.
Well, I think so anyway, from my limited experience.

soo.... i need some gloves that will be thin enough to work with on but also 100% waterproof. usually i put on thin wooly (knitted by the resident arachnid ;) ) and then a pair of washing up gloves over...

i'm wonder if wet suit gloves would do? trawling amazon but mixed reviews, any thoughts?

Wet suits aren't waterproof. They work by trapping a layer of water between the suit and the skin. The water warms up which keeps the wearer warmer.

I used to do a lot of kayaking. They wouldn't help with what you need John; you'd end up with fungal infections

Long-sleeved marigolds over woolly gloves would be better

@johnandjade microfleece liner gloves sold by outdoor shops like Millets would be good for inside your marigolds.

They're thin, warm and dry out quickly!

They have about a dozen varieties on the website. It's probably easier to pop into the shop to look

Why not just stick to the tried and tested method ?

Fungal infections are cool! ;)
