Death in Bacton Wood by Ross Greenwood

Cover of crime thriller Death in Bacton Wood by Ross Greenwood, reviewed by Is This Mutton

Dear friends. A few months ago I raved about the first Ross Greenwood I'd read. Now I'm on the blog tour for his latest thriller, Death in Bacton Wood. If you like a police procedural with a gripping plot and lots of twists, you've come to the right place.

Ways with Bouclé

 And #WowOnWednesday

Is This Mutton styles boucle, or lady, jackets several ways

Dear friends. Bouclé, or Lady Jackets, are having a bit of a moment. It's hard to find an actual definition, but to me a lady jacket is a short jacket with a round collar and fancy buttons. They're very versatile and can be used to dress up jeans, or popped over a dress. 

Here are some styling ideas for two of my lady jackets.

April Showers: Style Not Age Challenge

 Gail Hanlon proves raincoats don't need to be dreary in her turquoise trench from Asos


Dear friends.  April Showers is this month's prompt for the Style Not Age challenge.  Chosen by Hilda from Over the Hilda, it's very apt because it's been pouring for the last couple of days (and indeed, most of early April).

Raincoats are a tricky business.  They're usually in three colours:  stone/ beige, black, navy.  I have a stone coloured trench in the traditional style but I wanted something more unique, in a bright colour.
