Orange: Would You?

 And #TuesdayTwirl

Over 60s blogger Gail Hanlon in orange jacket and ditsy print with yellow trousers

Dear friends. Orange is a bit divisive.  You either love it or hate it.  It's a warm colour and definitely doesn't flatter if you are cool toned.  It's also quite attention seeking, perhaps in a different way to red, which stands for passion, power and confidence.

Royals to the Rescue

 And #TuesdayTwirl


Dear friends. When I was working I had two secret weapons for breaking the ice with my international colleagues at various meet ups. Eurovision was one, the European royals was another.

In those days I read Hello magazine mainly to stay up to date with Princess Stephanie of Monaco. Not only did she marry one of her bodyguards, she ran off to join a circus and trained to be a lion tamer.

All very exciting compared to the rather sedate British royals.

Bookshelf Update

 Is This Mutton gives a June bookshelf update on new arrivals


Dear friends.  My big book update is a monthly one, a smorgasbord of delights,  but I like to bring you an occasional hors d'oeuvres to bridge the gap. 

All books have been provided as advance digital copies via NetGalley and the publishers except for those marked with an asterisk. Those I bought.

Summer Fashion Disappoints

 And #Tuesday Twirl

Is This Mutton on the frustration of trying to buy chic summer fashion if you're petite


Dear friends. We've had a very intense spell of hot weather. Temperatures in London reached 34 degrees at times. It was hotter than Spain and Greece! 

I don't mind now I have an AC unit in my bedroom (read more about this in my Review of May).
