Gold Brocade Dress

And Wow on Wednesday

Gail Hanlon from Is This Mutton in a vintage 60s cream and gold brocade dress

Dear friends.  I've bought another original vintage dress! In cream and gold brocade it really caught my eye at Etsy.

I immediately earmarked it for a reunion event in October, although I'll need to wear it with a silky roll neck or jacket of some description, as it's sleeveless.

Swimming to Lundy by Amanda Prowse

Cover of novel Swimming to Lundy by Amanda Prowse, reviewed by Is This Mutton

Dear friends. Today's book spotlight features the latest novel by much loved contemporary writer Amanda Prowse.

Swimming to Lundy was inspired by the tragic and sudden death in 2022 of Amanda's brother Simon, aged 52, after a family lunch.

She says the new book was written to help herself and others come to terms with loss.

It's my turn on the blog tour for Swimming to Lundy.
