Dear friends. We've just returned from another wonderful holiday on the Greek island of Skiathos. I'm sharing some of the outfits I wore.
I thought I'd packed plenty, but while I had a lot of choice for daytime, I didn't have much that was "special" for evenings. Special but not too dressy, as Skiathos is quite a laid back, relaxed place.
Dear friends. A bumper crop of books this month. I'm sure there's something of interest for everyone. I bring you two 5 star reads plus some close contenders from the likes of Elizabeth Strout and Satu Rämö, plus three non-fiction books covering butterflies, cooking and The Beatles.
If you're wondering how I managed to read 10 books in a month, well, I receive advance digital copies from NetGalley, sometimes months before the books are published. I read most of these in darkest winter.

Dear friends. Orange is a bit divisive. You either love it or hate it. It's a warm colour and definitely doesn't flatter if you are cool toned. It's also quite attention seeking, perhaps in a different way to red, which stands for passion, power and confidence.

Dear friends. When I was working I had two secret weapons for breaking the ice with my international colleagues at various meet ups. Eurovision was one, the European royals was another.
In those days I read Hello magazine mainly to stay up to date with Princess Stephanie of Monaco. Not only did she marry one of her bodyguards, she ran off to join a circus and trained to be a lion tamer.
All very exciting compared to the rather sedate British royals.
