Hello everyone! I’ve been back for a week now, and that’s a week spent mainly doing endless washing and recovering from a migraine after a very delayed flight. I don’t believe in an afterlife but if I did then being stuck in an airport waiting for a delayed flight (happened
Film night outfit – May 2016
Hi Everyone Just squeezing this post in before I go. Here’s the outfit I wore at our May film screening. Note that I wear quite utilitarian skirts and tops as there’s work to be done and I need to look business-like. The top is an old one and that’s
Reflections on Ageing Part 2 – Maintenance
Not off to the cruise quite yet, but I’m just about to start packing that capsule wardrobe! So, continuing with the theme of ageing, and I know I’ve written about this before, but, in my view ageing is hard work. Not that I’m saying you don’t work hard when you’re
Reflections on Ageing Part 1 – Clothes and all that
On the cruise (which I think I’ve mentioned before) I shall turn 70. How did that happen? Well, the years pass and no way can you stop the clock. Would I want to though? Stop and reverse the clock? Sometimes I look back and think, perhaps that could have been
I’m taking a capsule wardrobe, I promise!
Hello again Did I mention that I was going on a cruise? Like last year (and even though I’m going away for 14 days) I’m taking a capsule wardrobe for daywear, sticking predominantly to blue jeans and black skinnies with a mix of black and blue tops. Here’s an old
Hatwalk 16 – May 2016
Hello everyone, and it’s a hat post again, which is where I share my hats with hat lovers around the world, and especially Judith Boyd of #hatattack fame. This month her hat is just beautiful – do have a look. OK, do you think if I rock up to an
How to find clothes in a charity shop? Always look!
Hello everyone And a big thank you to the people who’ve subscribed to my blog since the mention on Tricia Cusden’s blog two Sundays ago. Hi there and welcome! Anyway, from time to time people have commented that they admire me for buying clothes in a charity shop, but can
Film night outfit – April 2016
We all had such a blast on Saturday night at our local film society’s monthly film screening. I know we did because (I love it when this happens) at the end of the film the audience clapped. But who wouldn’t give a big hurrah at the end of Whiplash. Have
What to wear out and about in these cool and breezy April days
What’s the weather like where you are? Here in the UK it’s typical April showers for us with the sun out at times, which is lovely until you get an icy wind, which is how it was on Sunday when I went to Brighton to celebrate my son’s birthday. And
Hatwalk 15 – April 2016
The beginning of the month and another hat. I see Judith Boyd has chosen a Spring hat for her #hat attack session, but mine is still very much a winter hat. It is harder, I think, to find spring and summer hats, apart, that is, from the ubiqutous floppy-brimmed sun hat,
