    Buying fewer clothes and makeup – I’m trying!

    There’s a post on climate change that I’ve been writing on and off for several weeks, but it’s not ready and maybe never will. It’s quite long but just doesn’t read right. Several things prompted my attempt. First, it was Sir

    The makeup business – new developments and trends plus a joyful experience

    Hello everyone The beauty business – it’s a strange one. Think how it’s changed over the years. It used to be ‘let’s go down Boots’, after a frothy coffee in that new-fangled coffee bar. And once in Boots, the Chemist,

    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,
