From Rocher with love

This marvellous entry comes from Jane, who says: ‘This solitary glove may have been a casualty of a rush to grab sufficient supplies of the Ambassador’s finest. Or, alternatively, perhaps the owner took the “share something special” strapline on the box to heart and sacrificed it for the colourful benefit of others?’

Found in: Sainsbury’s, Kingston

It was a berry good year

I love this festive offering from Susan who speculates that the tiny pink mitten fell from a buggy as its owner attempted to relieve a passing bush of some red fruits 'in a buggy-by fruiting (like a drive-by shooting, but safer & more nutritious)'.

Found in: Hammersmith, west London

Spare us the gutter...

Drive My Car

This from Richard, our Paris correspondent:

This chic leather number was draped across the bonnet of a small Citroen outside the swanky Hotel de Crillon, next to the Federation Federation Internationale de l'Automobile, the governing body for world motorsport


Richard says: 'Note how the glove is not just placed, but seems to be reasuringly patting the little car, as if saying, "Don't worry... you may be small and there may be all these big German and Italian sports cars around looking beautiful but you can do things that they can't!"

I didn't stay around to learn what those things were.'

Found at: Place de la Concorde, Paris

Train in vain

You've Lost That Oven Feeling

This from the award-winning Mr Finnemore:


In all my days of lost-glove recording, I never imagined we would one day enter the realm of heat protection, but we live in strange and wonderful times.

As the sender says: 'Annoying, isn't it, when you go to get something out of the oven, in your kitchen in a different house at the other end of the High Street, and by the time you get there...'

Found in: Wern, Shropshire

Who Wants To Live Forever

I'm indebted to Patrick for sending me this picture of the Boston subway system where, as he puts it, 'the gloves go to become immortal'.

I don't know much about art, but I know what I like. I like this.
