Hello everyone I do hope you had a good Christmas and New Year and a bit of a break from work, although, if you’re a woman, and the majority of my readers are, I bet you did a lot of cooking 🙂 Throughout these ‘holidays’ or Twixmas, as some media
Party frocks – actually I always prefer a party skirt!
Oh my word, it’s almost Christmas, and I’m nearly ready and it’s going to be fine. But I do have mixed feelings about the holiday. Christmas for me, now, is too much. It’s great when you’re a child and your parents rush around and give you the best Christmas they
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 glimpse of our streamlined and de-cluttered apartment
Hi everyone Moving home in the UK can be very stressful as it was for us, and it had quite an impact on my physical self and I shall be talking about that in my next post (not to worry, as I’m sorting myself out) but today it’s about how
