Hello everyone How are you all? Tired but happy, OK, or a bit down from all the news of ‘you know what’? Well, apparently, we should be happy that this variant is less serious, and that’s good, and yes we should feel encouraged, yet I think that won’t be the
Putting on my party frocks!

Hi everyone The holidays approach and Christmas Day is organised plus the other days of meeting up with friends and family are sorted, so what shall I wear? Well, I say meeting up with friends and family as though I’m doing a lot of that, but that would be a
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
I’m back and here’s some cruise highlights!

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
Cruising around Spain

Hello everyone I’m back and the flat is festooned in washing, it’ll take me a week to get straight. We had a great time and loved nearly everything about the holiday, but tbh, it’s rare for a holiday to be totally perfect and like a curate’s egg this cruise was
Dresses – less is more!
