    Being tidy

    Being tidy

    I haven’t always been this tidy. But a small flat makes you put away stuff quick.  At this point in my life I don’t leave things lying around as there aren’t any spare rooms for things to be just dumped.

    Here it is – my first makeup video!

    I absolutely won’t go on about doing YouTube videos once it is up and running and I’ve got into the routine of it all.  Btw, I won’t be uploading every day – that would be way too much – but

    About Me

    My name is Penny, I am 78 years old and I live in Lewes, 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,
