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
More news about this and that plus an apology!
Hello and apologies to anyone who tried to read a post last week and couldn’t. The blog was down for 2 days. It’s a long story as to why but a big thank you to Mr F who sweated over his Mac removing numerous files. (He has many websites on
It’s 11 days to the move!
I continue to declutter and that includes pieces of furniture as well as clothes, and I will be packing my suitcase for the cruise this week. Other odds and ends will be discarded as well. I do love the challenge of a good clearout! I’m finding that as I age
Finally, it’s summer!
Wow, it was hot on Saturday. Over several days we’ve finally had quite warm (for the UK) temperatures. So I got out my summer dresses and actually wore them. And believe me, it has to be warm for me to bare my arms and go around without a cardi! There
Buying fewer clothes and makeup – I’m trying!
There’s a post on climate change that I’ve been writing on and off for several weeks, but it’s not ready and maybe never will. It’s quite long but just doesn’t read right.

That was a week that was – but moving on!
Hello everyone And thank you for the comments re: MrF and the concern you showed. His follow-up clinic was briskly reassuring and we move on from there. Meanwhile, having at the time been Mrs Competence personified 24 hours later I crashed and didn’t sleep well for several days. I too
In praise of comfortable shoes!
Hello everyone I see someone suggested I wear better shoes but here’s the thing, I’m not disagreeing, as I’m always on the lookout for shoes, but never seem to buy any. About a month ago I had a whole shop floor of shoes surrounding me whilst looking for a blue
We had hot weather for four days – back to cooler and quite windy weather now!
Hello again I’ve had a busy few days over Easter which was glorious for the UK. We had hot weather, which was lovely. I don’t usually like hot weather mainly because it doesn’t suit me (Sottish genes) and I’m suspicious of the heat anyway (more about that in the next
More skirts with an added pop of colour
Hi everyone I’ve bought two more skirts, which aren’t featured here, you’ll see them another time. I am such a skirt person though, and always have been. Jeans/trousers/pants are so not my go-to item of clothing. But for a short time after I retired I wore jeans a lot. I
In praise of wearing colourful clothes
I used to wear a lot of black clothes and still have two pairs of black jeans and that faux black leather jacket – that’s OK I think. But I have changed my attitude to wearing bright colours, and then again with my hair being au naturel with a white
