Hi everyone How are you all? Weather good where you are? I read of bloggers across the pond who currently have weather in the 90s! That’s, of course Fahrenheit, which would be 32C in our part of the world. I grew up with Fahrenheit measuring temperatures (how many of you
My new skirt!
Hello everyone I hope you’re all keeping well and not too anxious considering the circumstances in the east of Europe. I have written a further post on My Other Blog on the situation, which as you know you access via the icon. And in the meantime, my skirt arrived! Yay!!!
Looking back, looking forward
Hi everyone Well here we are in a new year. It’s 2022 and no, I am not doing a post on New Year’s resolutions. It’s not that these resolutions are so last year (ha!) it’s just I don’t think they help. Because we all want to improve and be the
My latest charity shop buys!
Hi everyone In contrast to last month, I’ve been very abstemious and bought only 3 items from charity shops this month. However I’m really pleased with them. You’ve already seen the skinny leggings but here’s the first of the two remaining charity shop finds. It’s a crazy skirt! It’s from
My charity shop bonanza – October has been a very lucky month!

Clothes for rainy days!
Hello everyone I began this post on Monday when Brighton had an almost day-long torrential downpour, one of many downpours we had over the last week, but hey, this week the weather has improved and it’s sunnier and warmer now – hurrah! That means this post is a bit out-of-date
Distractions, brain fog and ways to be positive
Hello again If you thought that the last post I put up was a little thin, apologies, I have been quite distracted these past few weeks. First of all, I took a couple of weeks to write a 3000+ word piece for My Other Blog. New followers I need to
My first charity shop buys since December!
I wasn’t exactly the first in the queue, but just after lunch on Monday I was in my local charity shop and wow, did it feel great to be back. It was also very safe as there was only one other person in the shop apart from the manager, which
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
