Outfit of the day 07/03/17
What a gorgeous day! It really feels as if Spring is here. We did go out today and, as we drove along, I felt uplifted to see daffodils, crocuses and tiny green buds on the hedgerows at the side of … Continue reading

Outfit of the day 01/03/17

Whoop! I managed to go out today! Lovely Husband took us both to the garden centre where we had tea and a short walk. Not very exciting for most people, but an achievement for me. We couldn’t stay very long … Continue reading

Outfit of the day 11/01/17
Well, I am feeling really poorly today, so will probably end up in bed for the duration! Never mind, I have still put on something quite nice on the top half, even though I have my pyjama bottoms on the lower half. If I do manage to go out, I will change into jeans and […]

Outfit of the day 06/01/17
As it was only a day after my Husband’s medical procedure, neither of us felt like going out today. Instead, we snuggled on the settee and watched recorded TV programmes. I then worked on this blog for a while, revisiting … Continue reading
