Another coat – surely not! Well….
Hello everyone There will be more about this at the end of the month but today (Monday 29th March) some of the severe restrictions we’ve been living under since Christmas are being removed, and we can now visit other people and sit in their gardens – three cheers to that! I
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

Here’s to better things to come!

Lockdown diaries – 31 January 2021 and more about African fashion
Hi everyone Here we are with another month done and dusted. I don’t know about you but I think this month has been one of the worst of this pandemic. We were all so pleased to move on from 2020 and most of us greeted the new year with delight,
