You seem to write fairly

One of my most used skirts -

Posted on Sat, 23 Jun 2018

One of my most used skirts - for best - was £1 on a charity shop sale rail! It's much easier to see what you like somehow in a mixed medley in a charity shop! I think there was concern about pumping out from charity shops to poorer countries...

A life made bland by ease is

Posted on Sat, 23 Jun 2018

A life made bland by ease is a very telling phrase. So easy just to criticize others, or frustration at the attitudes of 'society'. I was reading of the problems of fasion and the assumptions of constant new clothing necessary, made to...
