Hi everyone Well, I did say it was the month of the skirt and so it has been through thick and thin and a lot of coughing, now over, thank goodness! Yes, I managed to put up a different skirt on Instagram every day for 3 weeks – phew! I’m
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
Hair! Some common problems and solutions
Hi everyone I’m a bit late this week – I’ll tell you the reason at the end of the post. Hair! This is a tricky one as I am not an expert on hair, and furthermore have been blessed with my mother’s Scottish red hair gene, but someone asked me
Maintenance at home
Hello everyone How are you all doing? I’ve begun to do more things out in the community but being very, very cautious as the virus is still circulating here in the UK – see the latest figures which contain information about local areas. But last week, I went to a
Lockdown diaries – 30 April 2020

A new skirt and Hair Part II
Hello again I’m always on the lookout for skirts, which I prefer to jeans, pants and trousers. I have two pairs of black skinny jeans one of which has sparkles on it and which I wear with a top in the evening, and I’ll wear that pair when we go
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
The makeup business – new developments and trends plus a joyful experience
Hello everyone The beauty business – it’s a strange one. Think how it’s changed over the years. It used to be ‘let’s go down Boots’, after a frothy coffee in that new-fangled coffee bar. And once in Boots, the Chemist, you’d get a Helena Rubenstein lipstick or maybe Elizabeth Arden
My new top – I wear it a lot!
A couple of weeks ago I bought a top in the Martlets Hospice charity shop in Lewes. My word, it’s a keeper. I’ve worn it and worn it. Here it is. It’s a Boden top and cost £5.99 – that’s about right for Lewes. I’m wearing the top over a
