I do hope that my readers had a good weekend. Unfortunately, I am still struggling with my health and haven’t been able to get out of bed and go downstairs. I really want to be able to get up and go for a walk to begin working on my fitness levels, but the horrible chronic cough won’t let me.

So, I am trying to think of nicer things. I am wondering if I can save up for another Hermès cashmere/silk shawl. Last year, I put together enough of my own money, plus birthday and Christmas presents, to be able to afford the gorgeous Plumes en Fête.

Here it is as a reminder…

And this is what it looks like with grey clothing…

I also have a 140cm size cashmere/silk Hera shawl from Liberty…

So, if I did decide to save up for another Hermès shawl, which pattern and colourway should I choose, bearing in mind my wardrobe colours? These have evolved over the last few years as I have grown out my grey hair:

Base colours: navy and grey.

Accent colours (shades of): turquoise, blue, purple, pink, white.

I am completely flummoxed as to which colours I should choose? Or do I go for something completely different? Mind you, that would mean that my other accessories wouldn’t work.

Choices, choices!!!

Anyway, let’s look at some of the shawls that I am considering (note: some of these are from previous seasons)…

Any suggestions would be really welcome and I am open to ideas about other designs/colourways.

Please help me choose!!!

Right, I think I had better have a rest from writing now – back to my book!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
