    Hello dear friends and thank you so much for your good wishes and thoughts about the anxiety I had (which I think a lot of us suffer from) before travelling. Because, of course, on the actual day I was fine,

    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,
