    Health & Wellbeing Part 2  Maintenance – that’s eight hours and counting!

    I’m a great fan of Nora Ephron (such a brilliant writer) and especially her book, ‘I Feel Bad About My Neck and other thoughts on being a woman’. I’ve just got it off the shelf and flicked through it. For

    Grey hair rules – for me, anyway!

    Grey hair rules – for me, anyway!

    You know I always say, do as you please and wear what you want! That rule also applies to hair – you do as you feel you should. Because, only you will know when it’s right to go grey and

    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

    A close look at health, wellbeing and just having fun – as the years roll by!

    Had another birthday recently – 72 now. I asked myself how did that happen! Well, it’s just something you cannot escape.  The years roll by and there you are – you’re over 70! I do think turning 70 is crunch

    An update on the fitness thing

    This blog has always been more than just the charity shop shopping and the clothes I wear.  It’s also about women and ageing, and how we can age well and all the positive things we can do to be healthy

    What do you do? Hair up or down, bar of soap, bath or shower?

    Hello again I thought I’d have some fun and answer some questions that are going round the blogosphere (started with the Blended Blog, I believe).  Look, I read this stuff so you don’t have to!  But rather like another blogger

    Transitioning to grey

    Hello again Gosh what a shock. Got home Friday evening after a very normal on-time flight (Toulouse to Gatwick) but I’m just not a good traveller. I know it’s a short flight as opposed to trans-atlantic flights but, although I

    The look I like and the look I don’t like!

    The look.  OK, my very good friend Catherine of AtypicaI60 is so honest.  On her blog she often shows her face and hair how it is.  We see her spots, wrinkles and blotches and hear about the travails and trials

    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,
