Dear friends. A busy month to share. October included a big birthday for Mr Mutton, a school reunion in Plymouth and seeing the group ABC with an orchestra in Bournemouth. I also started using a personal trainer again, gave blood and did a one day First Aid course.
Read on for TV recommendations.
Dear friends. A mixed hors d'oeuvres today. I'm sharing which outfit I wore to the school reunion, a recent cord dress acquisition, a perfume search and more.
First up is a soft corduroy dress. It's exactly the type of dress I look for in winter: not too long and with a gathered waist that helps create definition where none exists. Plus corduroy is On Trend, not that most of us care too much about that.
I'm looking for your help to select my outfit.
Dear friends. An exciting month for me as I was nominated for UK Book Blogger of the Year. I must add however that it was a LONG long list and I didn't make the short list. I didn't expect to, because although I review books extensively on NetGalley, I'm not a dedicated book blogger.
I simply read books and share my thoughts with you because I know most of you are avid readers.
Many thanks to those who voted for me!

Dear friends. I bought this gorgeous purple trench a few weeks ago and still haven't had chance to wear it. We had a very dry summer and autumn is continuing in the same vein.
But at least I have it for when rain inevitably strikes.
I spotted the trench coat at Hobbs and knew I must act quickly. What I've learnt about purple is that when retailers have any of the bright true purple shade, it flies out of the door. I don't understand why they don't stock more of it.
Dear friends. Today's book spotlight is on a novel that sends chills down the spine. Author Michelle Paver has done it again with another brilliantly researched book that is both eerie and thought provoking.
A few years I read her book Thin Air, about a mountaineering expedition that went wrong. I still think about it to this day. I immediately read her books Dark Matter and Wakenhyrst.
Several years have elapsed since the last book. Rainforest is a stunner, and gets 5 stars from me.
Join me on today's blog tour to learn more about the story and the author.
GIFTED COLLABORATION
Dear friends. I don't often do collaborations with brands but when I was contacted by Belfast based Lighthouse Clothing and looked at their site, I couldn't resist. I would buy their pieces in a heart beat.
Lighthouse is a family-focused British brand with a love for practical, stylish layering.
I chose three garments from the new autumn/winter collection and I was absolutely blown away by the quality.
