I promised I wouldn’t complain about the hot weather after our awful grey and damp winter. And I’m not. But Tuesday was the hottest day of the year topping 32C (89F) and I felt not far from heat stroke when I walked for a mile in the sun to fetch
Did you see the article that caused a lot of chatter in the blogosphere recently (in RantChic.com apparently – no, me neither) on 24 things a woman over 30 shouldn’t wear (leopard-skin, graphic Ts, short dresses and so on)? No? Well, I’m glad to say that practically everyone ridiculed it
I’d make the worst travel writer ever. I always start a holiday saying ‘this time I will keep a diary’ But, as on every holiday I take, I write up all of 3 days then stop, and now the cruise is disappearing into a blur of (lovely) memories. If you’ve

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
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
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
