Last week I bought a dress from a charity shop for £8. It caught my eye as the material was pretty and, joy of joys, it still had its original store label, so it was unworn, it was new. Wow! Mind you, I could see it was a tight and
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
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

This cruise was, for us, quite a different experience from our other cruises, mainly because it was an American cruise line. I mean, first and foremost, we felt as though we were the only Brits on the ship, which, btw, we loved! But it was a big, big ship (we
Hello again Did I mention that I was going on a cruise? Like last year (and even though I’m going away for 14 days) I’m taking a capsule wardrobe for daywear, sticking predominantly to blue jeans and black skinnies with a mix of black and blue tops. Here’s an old
