    The late, indeed very late review of 2023! Part 1 – books and films

    Hello again!   Well that was a bit of a disaster, and I am referring to the year 2023!  It began with ill-health (‘flu and Covid) and ended with ill-health (bronchitis). I’ve been out of action since the 15th December.

    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,
    the Frugalfashionshopper
