Hi everyone Many apologies I’m late as usual but this time I’ve got a very good excuse as I’ve posted not one but two blogs on My Other Blog and replied to the commenters. The first is all about those ‘gatherings’ at No10, with the second an update on the
Another coat – surely not!

Hi everyone Yes, I know, why do that? Why buy yet another coat? Well, the thing is, as I said in my last post, coats are my go-to item to make a statement. This is because since the pandemic I don’t have the same opportunity to dress up what with

A coat and a skirt bought just before lockdown

Hello everyone Here we go again, back in lockdown. How are you feeling about this? My heart goes out to those who have lost their jobs or near to losing them, but personally, I’ve got so used to not doing all that much that really, it hasn’t made much impact
