Thank you to all who responded to my query.
We had a good look at all the suggestions either on-line or in the shop. Some were ruled out on grounds of cost although suitable otherwise. For example, she liked the Rohans in their Oxford shop but could not justify spending around £100. Then a stoke of luck. As we past the Mountain Warehouse shop where we had drawn a blank earlier in the week, I suggested a quick look in case they had new stock and she was amazed to find a pair of their own brand in the right size and marked down to £29. She took the view that although a third of the price of the Rohans they were far from a third as good.
So, a good result saving nearly £70 and reinforcing my view that an annual subscription to BushcraftUK actually saves money. Thank you Tony!
