Dear friends. I set myself a challenge to wear a proper outfit each day for a week.
Most days I wear athleisure all day. It's not the trendy sort, either.
But as I miss my outfit round-ups of yore, when I was working, I decided to smarten up my act to wear more of my clothes. I'm showing you what I wore each day last week.
What to expect: an ordinary 65 year old woman wearing colourful outfits and accessories to hopefully give you a bit of inspiration.

Dear friends. February is remarkable for some of the best books I've read for a while.
You'll encounter: a wise woman mistaken for a witch; a forbidden relationship between a priest and a woman campaigning for Catholic reform; twins whose lives are changed forever by a childhood act of kindness, and female spies in the war sent to comfort German soldiers.
I'm also on a roll with my non-fiction reading and have two very different books for you.
All books were provided free of charge as advance digital copies by NetGalley and the publishers.
Dear friends. We were inundated on Instagram last week with suggestions of what to wear for Valentine's Day. Well, as Mr Mutton and I don't usually mark this in any way, I wasn't paying too much attention.
But then my new-to-me red skirt with purple flowers arrived from eBay. It's a Boden skirt and you know my love for them.
Dear friends. I am an avid reader of Tudor history. So much so, I wondered if there was still anything new to learn.
I'm glad to say a new voice (to me) on the Tudor scene, Jessica Carey-Bunning, brings a fresh and welcome perspective to the six wives of Henry VIII.
