    We had hot weather for four days – back to cooler and quite windy weather now!

    Hello again I’ve had a busy few days over Easter which was glorious for the UK. We had hot weather, which was lovely. I don’t usually like hot weather mainly because it doesn’t suit me (Sottish genes) and I’m suspicious

    It’s summertime – what to wear?

    Decluttering again!

    I’ve had another purge of my wardrobe. I decluttered a great many things before I moved in to this little flat, and not just clothes, but kitchen equipment, books, ornaments and pictures. Why is this item here, I asked? Do

    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,
