Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Relax and stay a while.
I feel like I might have to become a weather-man because so many of my musings seem to be dictated by the weather. There is just no getting around it though, what is going on outside has a huge impact on what we put on. So if like me, you are not sure whether you are coming or going when …
Is it just too much to ask for us to have an actual summer? And I don’t mean a couple of days here and there of sunshine. I mean weeks or months on end of summery weather and not torrential downpours. I am seriously considering escaping this depressing climate. Particularly depressing as it is the end to the summer holidays which have rendered …
So for those of you about to embark on your summer holiday, then this blog is for you. If, like me, you have already been away and are now staring down the barrel of another month or so of school holidays with very little prospect of sunshine, then don’t switch off quite yet as some of these bargains are just …
It is very apt that on the hottest day of the year this post is all about swimwear. It is a very British thing to constantly bemoan our weather but today has just been too hot. The only place to be was in the paddling pool or sitting in the fridge. So what to wear? Well not specifically what you …
Hurray the sun is shining and currently not a cloud in the sky. So why am I feeling blue? Well, it’s all about the colour blue, specifically navy blue and not my mood, which if it were a colour would be yellow.

Apologies in advance – this post may be a touch on the self-indulgent side as I was on a mission last week to find a dress I could wear to the evening wedding reception of one of my husband’s clients. Without going into too many details I needed to find a dress that was more on the glam end of the spectrum than I …
It appears that I am a teensy bit flat footed – that is according to the guy who is doing some post-operative physio on my knee. This may have something to do with why I have sustained injuries that are normally associated with super duper athletic types …. or grannies! I, on the other hand, have torn my cartilage whilst engaging in pretty innocuous …
The irony is not lost on me; as I lie here wearing my hideous thigh-high post-op white stockings, all I can see from my bed is my shoes. My shoes which, given I have just had a knee operation, I cannot currently wear. Never mind, only a few more days of stockings (I decided against posting a photo of me …
Culottes…..an odd choice for a first blog perhaps. But pretty fitting given I was inadvertently ahead of the fashion curve on this one, being as they were my secondary school uniform throughout the majority of the 90’s! Here I am on the left (sorry Sue!) I have to be honest I absolutely hated them. They were deemed a “sensible” choice for …
