Thank you so much for all those lovely comments wishing me well going on the cruise and then saying you were pleased I was back. You’re all lovely and I appreciate you lots. In that first post written after I got back I kind of hinted that I‘d brought the
Hello everyone, and a warm welcome to all, and especially those of you who dropped by and signed up after a mention on Tricia Cusden’s recent blog post on street style and her new hat. Yes, I do love hats and no need to spend gazillions on them! It’s great
