Holiday Outfits: Breaking the Rules

 Introducing #TuesdayTwirl

Dear friends. I'm back with a style post and new link-up. It's been six months since the last Wow on Wednesday, and I've been missing it.  So today #TuesdayTwirl is born. 

For style bloggers it's a chance to feature latest fashion and beauty posts, and for readers it's an opportunity to find more blogs from like-minded women.

Today I'm sharing a few of the outfits I'll be taking to Greece in a few weeks. I'm also doing 3 things that older women are often told, in clickbait articles, not to do.  Wearing bright colours;  wearing a shorter hemline, and baring my arms.  Who cares about rules?

Death at Fakenham Races by Ross Greenwood

 

Dear friends.  Prepare to be immersed in the world of horse racing in the latest crime thriller from one of my favourite writers, Ross Greenwood.

I must confess I have never been remotely interested in horse racing, but Greenwood brings it to life as DI Ashley Knight investigates murder at a race course. 

Join me on the blog tour for Death at Fakenham Races. 

The Cardinal by Alison Weir

 

Dear friends. What do we know of Cardinal Wolsey, right hand man to Henry VIII until he fell out of favour? 

Best selling historical novelist Alison Weir brings the Cardinal to life in her new book.  We learn about a man whose religious calling was somewhat reluctantly accepted;  a man who nurtured a secret love, and who lost everything dear to him. 

Today is my turn on the book blog tour for The Cardinal. 

Maximising a Galley Kitchen

Dear friends.  We're just completed a kitchen renovation. It's the first time I've ever had a brand new kitchen. 

When we moved into this house 20 years ago the kitchen had been recently updated - on the cheap - to help sell the house. 

It's a small galley kitchen, typical of this era of house (late 1920s).
