Hi everyone I have a good news story. But just a thought, both parts of this post might put you right off your breakfast – not sure. Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained, so here goes! OK I was in the gym changing room, and I ever so slightly knocked my
Jackets Part II and another necklace
Hello again Weather-wise we’re now fully into cold starts in the morning (for the UK) and a lot of rain, perhaps more than usual. Fortunately, even our leader (the one that I am not fully in tune with!) has said that the flooding in the north of our country is
A new hat and a facial, and gosh the choice you have now! Plus out and about in Brighton
Hello everyone First things first I bought a new hat! Rather pleased with it. I saw it in charity shop on our Sunday walk and yes, you’ve guessed, I pounced! It cost all of £4! We were out and about watching the Vintage Car Rally which begins in London and
More random thoughts on books and things
Hello everyone I’m still rearranging things in the new flat including my makeup drawers, which are now my costume jewellery drawers. I am, btw, going to re-start the makeup videos, not immediately, but at some point. There’s a whole load of reasons why I stopped them and I’ll be writing
A necklace, a new jacket (or is it a coat) and some books I’ve been reading

My latest find – and it’s something spidery that sparkles! Plus another view of my favourite skirt and what I’ve been watching!

Media images of ageing – are they too clichéd and restricted?
Early last week I wrote a piece elsewhere, which was mainly in praise of Lady Hale, the wonder woman heading up our Supreme Court. And she really is a wonder woman as the court’s judgement on the legality of our Parliament’s prorogation was superb in its depth and breadth yet
The cooler weather means I get out my warmer clothes – hooray! Part 1 – skirts
I do love wearing winter clothes and that includes tights and jackets and coats, and oh, yes, boots and winter skirts. I expect having raved about these items and after this week’s rain and colder nights there’ll still be warmer weeks. Nevertheless, I’m excited. Yes, winter skirts. Here’s a favourite
The continuing impact of the move and how I’m dealing with it
We love living in the centre of Brighton and this has made quite a difference to our cultural life. Last Sunday we went to a gig. OK, it was in the afternoon, but it was a right rock-on affair with the Alter Eagles showcasing all the original Eagles songs. Who
Second-hand September and an out-of-doors Brighton weekend
Hello again I expect most of you know that this is a month where we are supposed to not buy anything new. Despite it being London Fashion Week influencers and models have asked us to only buy second-hand clothes throughout September. One of those influencers, Stella Tennant (grand-daughter of one of
