Hello again And a big thank you to all of you who commented on my last post, which seemed to generate quite a lot of interest. Btw, I miscounted. I have 12 pairs of shoes rather than 11! So, having said that one of the reasons for the low number
The blessings of friendship – and cold weather!
Hello I do like winter weather. Well, I qualify that, as we’re just at the beginning of winter and we’ve not had weeks of that grey damp (gets in your bones) weather that we have here in the UK. Today is a bit grey in the south though, but I
Some bargains found!
Hello everyone There’s been a bit of an absence here. It was just a busy, sociable, meeting friends kind of week, plus I posted on My Other Blog. Stuff (otherwise known as Brexit) is happening, or not happening, people, so read all about it there. I went to Pilates twice
Hatwalk 29 – April 2018
Another post on wearing hats around town. I know some of you say that you can’t wear hats but I think everyone can (especially when it’s the winter!) and the way to start with hat wearing is with a beret, which, I think, suits every type of face. So here
Shopping in a charity shop – here’s how!

Hatwalk 23 – May 2017
I notice that some Stateside bloggers are already talking about wearing warm weather clothes and featuring sleeveless tops. Wow! That’s so not the case here! We do have days when it’s sunny and there’s a blue sky, but even though I live by the south coast there’s often a very
A homage to my hats – the ones that have been sent back to be loved by another!
I’ve talked about de-cluttering a lot lately. Most of you know I’ll be moving soon to a small 2-bedroomed flat (or apartment as you might call it). I’ve been really good at sifting through so many things and not just clothes, but vases, plates, cutlery, books, yes, even books! Because,
Hatwalk 8 – September 2015
Hi everyone It’s the beginning of September and time to celebrate the wearing of hats with the lovely Judith Boyd of the Hat Attack blog posts. The hat for this month is not the grey waterproof hat that I took to Scotland and the Faroe Islands, as I never wore
Out and about with my yellow hat!
This is just a quick post to show you that I really do wear my hats out and about! The photos were taken on Sunday in Brighton outside a pub where I had a typical English Sunday lunch of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding! And yes, I’m definitely over 25!
Coats – I’ve got too many or have I?
Perhaps some may think I do nothing other than shop for clothes. Actually no, I’ve a busy life doing lots of other things, but if I find myself in one of the small towns that are so typical in Britain, I do look in charity shops and often I find
