A long time ago one of my brothers, and I'm so much younger than them that I don't know which one it was, stuck a fork through his foot whilst digging in the garden. This was much talked about during my childhood and I always thought that it was a pretty silly thing to have done. Hey ho, this afternoon I discovered just how easy it is and my (new this season) right Hunter welly has the bloodstain on it! I was working on the slope behind the summerhouse, doing more cutting back and weeding, all at an angle of course. The fork was more to help me stay upright by acting as a prop than to actually be used for digging so it was when I altered my position that I managed to stick it through the top of the welly. Only one spike went through, fortunately, but it was enough for the blood to come upwards through the boot. Just as well they're 'blood red' ones.
I wonder, can I use a cycle puncture repair kit to mend the boot?
