Top of the Crops
& #WowOnWednesday
Dear friends. Summer heralds the cropped trousers/pants season, which I love! I snapped up a few new pairs as soon as they went on sale and now have orange and yellow in addition to the rest of my collection.
What do I like about them? They're very adaptable: you could wear them in the office, they are longer than shorts, and they look polished and professional with a jacket. They're available in a rainbow of colours, and they work on most shapes and sizes.

Tell Us About....Gardens and Gardening
Dear friends. Welcome to this month's Tell Us About challenge, which is now even bigger. We have 10 bloggers taking part, from the UK, US, Australia and Portugal.
They all have their own spin on this month's topic which is Gardens and Gardening, courtesy of Penny from Frugal Fashion Shopper.
I love gardening and also visiting gardens.

Lake District in the Spring
& WowOnWednesday
J and I were taking it fairly easy this time. We've both had bad colds recently and J was keen to avoid any muscle strains prior to his gruelling cycling holiday. So unlike previous trips, we didn't climb the really big fells like Scafell Pike, Helvellyn or Skiddaw.
