Hi everyone I’m still doing an end-of-the-month review (a trifle late this month) but as you can see it is no longer called Lockdown Diaries, as it’s now just a roundup of events, happenings, clothes I might have bought that I haven’t shown you, films and television that I have
Style? And how to get it sorted – or not!
Hello everyone Apologies for not writing a post for nearly two weeks. Life just got in the way! I’ve been very busy and did a lot of stuff last week and this, with appointments to go here, there and everywhere, and hey, I had my hair cut! Here I am
My first charity shop buys since December!
I wasn’t exactly the first in the queue, but just after lunch on Monday I was in my local charity shop and wow, did it feel great to be back. It was also very safe as there was only one other person in the shop apart from the manager, which
How did this happen?
I’ll be 75 next birthday (in June) and I often think along the lines of How.Did.That.Happen, this ageing thing? Because it creeps up on you and then boom, it’s there! I’ve said this before, that when I was 40 I thought no different to a 30-yr-old, same when I was
Lockdown diaries – March 2021
Hi again everyone I wonder whether I’ll be continuing this diary throughout the year or will it come to an end soon? Actually, I’m thinking that I might do one more at the end of April and possibly May, and then maybe continue the theme of the post as a

It’s time to get out those Spring jackets!
It’s mid-March, which is about the time we get very mixed weather here in the UK. Sometimes it’s freezing and when I read of other bloggers who live in the northern hemisphere having temperatures reaching 70F (that’s 21C to us and a warm mid-Summer’s temperature) I just marvel as it’s
Wearing green to celebrate the Spring and St Patrick’s Day
Hi everyone First of all, thank you so much for all the lovely responses to my last blog post – they were so interesting to read. What I’d like to say is I hope you are writing down those memories of your mother and descriptions of your family life. And
Celebrating women everywhere, especially my mother!
Hi everyone And here’s to women around the world, happy International Women’s Day (which was actually 8 March). I see the theme this year is Choose to Challenge. Yes, that’s a good one, as I agree that we should challenge everything, or at the very least keep a critical and
Lockdown Diaries – February 2021
Hi everyone Phew, bit of a challenging week last week as I was recovering from tripping and falling hard on my face, oops a daisy as they say. I was fine, albeit a bit shocked so no need to worry, but my neck is a bit stiff so haven’t done
