    The thing about white hair

    The thing  about white hair

    It’s two years now since I had my hair dyed. It was October 2016 when I last had my roots  coloured, and I look at past photos (here’s one taken a few years ago) and I think, gosh, that was

    Something to be proud of – and a big thank you!

    Hey, I went to Pride last Saturday and stood in the heat and watched the Parade. The above pic was taken during the week on a quiet day in a back street, therefore, no crowds unlike Saturday. But, so proud

    A fabulous hat

    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,
