Congratulations Gus, must be an amazing and emotional time. All the best to Sally and Bibi.

Our Sam is just 8 weeks old, its been the sharpest learning curve - prepare for loads of well meaning (and often conflicting :wink: ) advice and loads of baby goodies.

Until recently I've always used those cheapo Pathan 2 finger things from HG. I get through 1 pair a year before the lining bursts - they are very warm but don't look too substantial from a skidding down the tarmac perspective.

Glad to hear he's ok and up and about - hope he mends well..
