Decisions, decisions for a move (or two) that was right for us!

Decisions, decisions for a move (or two) that was right for us!

Hello everyone How are things with you? Good I hope. We’re fine and I’ll say more about my state of mind at the end of the month, but for now, I am going to revisit the major decision we made to move to housing for the over-65s. This has been

Hi everyone How are you all? Well, I hope and having a few outings and visits from family and friends? We are still being very cautious. I actually went into a supermarket for something I forgot to get via my online delivery but I’m not going to make a habit

Summer clothes?  We mix it up in the UK!

Hello again We have been a little bit more adventurous. You have to live and enjoy life so we visited our daughter on Sunday, and next Sunday we will be going to friends for a Sunday lunch. That will be quite daring for us and, gosh, am I looking forward

Are you wearing all white?

Are you wearing all white?

Hello again Apparently wearing an all-white outfit is the latest in thing in fashion circles, say the fashion journos, and who am I to argue with this. Did you know that this wearing of white is meant to be a homage to Wimbledon, which I am so sad to be

Is shopping going to change from traipsing around the shops to online?

Is shopping going to change from traipsing around the shops to online?

Hello everyone The charity shop just around the corner from me has reopened, but have I gone in it?  No, and I won’t until the number of UK cases and deaths per day go significantly down, as in, far, far further down than our government trumpets at its daily nonsensical

What I’ve been wearing lately!

Hello everyone I had a short break from blogging for a variety of reasons, but how are you all these days?  We continue to self-isolate, and apart from taking a short walk for fresh air we’re not interested in any lessening of the lockdown.  Personally won’t feel safe until I’m

I’m back in Brighton once more!

Hello everyone I’ve been away!  And I also had a bit of a break from the blog – apologies!  But it was so good to return to an old but favourite haunt – Suffolk! For those of you living outside the UK, Suffolk is part of the rounded bit on

Finally, it’s summer!

Wow, it was hot on Saturday. Over several days we’ve finally had quite warm (for the UK) temperatures. So I got out my summer dresses and actually wore them. And believe me, it has to be warm for me to bare my arms and go around without a cardi!  There

That was a week that was – but moving on!

Hello everyone And thank you for the comments re: MrF and the concern you showed.  His follow-up clinic was briskly reassuring and we move on from there.  Meanwhile, having at the time been Mrs Competence personified 24 hours later I crashed and didn’t sleep well for several days. I too

About Me

My name is Penny, I am 74 years old and I live in Brighton, East Sussex. My reasons for writing a fashion blog is that I have built up a great wardrobe on very little money mainly because I buy from charity shops.

So my blog will feature the clothes I have found since I retired, and the clothes that I continue to find in my local charity shops. From time to time I will also comment on issues around women and ageing.

Penny,
