Jax don't waste your time asking Santa for a kneeling pad - they are a waste of time - trust me. my old knees know it for sure. Instead get a pair of kneeling pads - the best thing I ever did. I strap them on as soon as I get up the lottie, and it is amazing how many times you kneel down when you don't intend too - if you know what I mean. They have saved my old back and knees from all sorts of extra trouble. You don't have to get up and down and move the kneeling pad. When you catch you knee on the rotorvator, an odd stone, the side of a piece of corrugated iron, the side of the wheel barrow - hey hoy you don't feel a thing. Try them on first - there are all sorts, but it is worth trying them on and kneeling down. The nicest looking are not always the best - and look for something with a bit of waterproofing if possible.

Builders ones in big stores like B&Q for those of you who live in or near towns lucky people - they are the best as they are good for kneeling on really hard ground and sharp rocks. They are made for big beefy builders knees so I had to settle for less!

Oops gone off thread a bit - but just wanted to save you wasting your money on kneeling pads. I had got ones with handles that turn into seats, shaped rubber ones, ordinary ones - nothing compares with knee pads!
