Venturing out…slowly…

Unfortunately I’m suffering a very bad cold at the minute (which is just my luck when the weather changes for the better…oh well…) though I did manage to make it out to the charity shops just before my cold really started to kick in..like the picture above of yet another Audrey item (though I’m not Read More

Surviving not thriving….

Well a lot has changed since a year ago with my post ‘Survivors’ (click here Survivors… – Philippa Nestie ).  Last week marked the one year anniversary of the original lockdown and here we are a year later still sadly locked down but slowly preparing to come out…small baby steps tentatively taken into this ‘Brave Read More

Fashion Fix

Feeling rather deprived of some fashion and wondering what’ll be opening and how will it work?
