  My Grandads hoe, The end blade eventually wore through but because I was so used to the feel, bit like the wife, I made a new blade and welded it in. Good now for another 20 years, probably longer than the wife.

  My grandad's old hoe too - must be at least 30 odd years old and I love it, tatty old thing that it is (like me)! And of course Trigger's broom dare I say.

  I inherited load of tools when I was 15, I knew what I wanted to do from a young age!
  Some of these tools must be 100 years old or so. My fave is an old fork, it like a boarder fork but the tines are only about 4 inches long, I use it for turning over light soil when I'm weeding etc.
  My Great Grandad used it as a walking stick in his garden, the tines have a curve to there base from the motion of his steps!
