60th Birthday Celebrations.

Hiya 👋

You okay?

Hope you’ve had a super week, have you had good weather? We’ve had it a bit hotter and somewhat humid so on Friday night we had one almighty storm! We turned the lights off and watched the lightening light up the sky as if it was daytime! The claps of thunder signed it was right above us at times but fortunately we didn’t have too much rain so no danger of flooding. Of course by the next morning apart from a few puddles there was no sign of anything happening!

I went to a party on Saturday night. It was my best friends’s 60th celebrations and she had an enchanting garden party complete with pretty flowers and fairy lights. 

It was a lovely evening chatting with old friends and finding new ones - the ones you feel you already know because you’ve heard so much about them! We dancing ate and drank until the early hours and succumbed to the tired feelings that enveloped us all catching a taxi at 1 am! Wow what a way to celebrate your 60th but I needed the slow day on Sunday to recoup and get back to normal!

Always there to share good and bad times with a friendship that has never wained!

I wore this maxi dress but should have taken a little jacket with me as the wind didn’t retreat in the afternoon and made it seem so much colder. The food was delicious, I took a homemade pâté which went down really well - I’ve got some orders in for Christmas already! 😂

Good morning everyone. 

How’s your world going?

It’s been another fab week especially after a really good weekend. You remember I told you about the darts competition on Saturday night, well what I didn’t tell you was that my daughter announced she’d got engaged! I’m thrilled for her and can’t wait to get planning another wedding, although I’m not sure when that will be as they’ve got to buy somewhere to live as well! She’s got a beautiful ruby and diamond halo ring that’s stunning and her fiancée picked a beauty!

On Sunday, David and I were invited to a venue in London for a dinner show. All I can say right now is that it was a brilliant night, with exceptional food and some delicious champagne - which is now my favourite drink! You’ll be the first to know when the post goes live as I can’t wait to share it with you! I wore my vivid pink midi dress from JD Williams and felt really confident in it. 

Let me share a birthday present with you today. My sister bought me these trousers and I loved pairing them with this old fine knit top from Phase Eight.

Darts Competition with a Shit Shirt!

Morning, or I should say evening!

Another later post. 

I’ve had a really busy weekend and didn’t have any time to blog!

On Saturday I spent most of the day in the garden as the weather was being kind. We cut both front and back grass, I strimmed the back garden and David trimmed the hedge with me collecting the spoil. We’ve got three full bins and two big builders bags and plan to get a skip to get rid of it all! We have our own skip company, so that won’t be expensive. I love seeing the garden all trimmed and clipped although there’s still more hedge to work on but at least we’ve made a start. 

On Saturday night we had a family darts competition. We’ve all been enjoying Thursday Night Darts, so much so we’ve all had dart boards installed. It’s been so much fun planning the evening over the past few weeks. Em and Dan really did a fantastic job, complete with banners, rules and winning cups. We had to get a shit Tee shirt, think of a name and also think of a walk on tune - can you guess what my choice was? (Here’s a clue - Wham) find out below!

Come with me to Amiens - Chic & Stylish Linkup.

Morning my friends. 

How’s June going for you?

I’ve had a busy few weeks, culminating in a run of trips away to France and Cornwall. Today I’ll share my two night stay in Amiens when I shared an AirBnb with David and four friends. 

The weather has been nice over the past few days and it’s been lovely to venture out without a jacket! I got back to the gym on Monday and felt great doing it. I’m starting to see the difference since losing over a stone on the Keto diet and my fitness journey is going even better than normal as exercises seem to be slightly easier weighing less!

May Review.

Hello there. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Just back from my trip to Cornwall with my mum and sister. We went to visit my uncle who lives there and we stayed in the delightful hotel Pencubitt in Liskeard. I’ll share what I got up to soon but today it’s all about what I got up to in May. It’s time for the …

May Review. 

It’s been a busy couple of weeks and I’m hoping for a bit of a break now. I’ll get my post about both Cornwall and Amiens ready for you soon but until then please accept today’s post in stead. 

I started off the month with a super stylish pair of wide leg linen blend trousers and love the look. I’ve even bagged another similar white pair from Vinted and will share them soon. 

Relaxing Skincare in Cornwall - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Morning my friends. 

How’s your weekend been?

Well mine has been wonderful. I got back from a few days in Amiens on Monday and before my feet could touch the ground again I was off to Cornwall where I’m currently staying in the Pencubitt Hotel with my mum and sister. 

We’re visiting my uncle who lives near Lostwithiel. It’s very remote but there’s some lovely places around so we’ll have a nice time exploring. Keep watching IG to see where I am and what I’m up to and I hope it might entice you for a little visit there. I know the weather will be changeable so I’m planning on packing a mixed bag! I need every weather system covered - fortunately we can get quite a lot in the car but I’m sure it’ll be full to the brim! 😂

It’s a girls trip so I’m taking lots of my skincare and beauty gadgets with me. I like to keep on top of my routines but sometimes some of them slip. I know all too well the importance of a decent skincare regime and have noticed a different reflection when I look in the mirror since reaching 60. I’m willing to try all the lotions and potions to improve the look and feel of my skin so I’m always on the lookout for new products. I’ve got tightening creams, smoothing lotions, serums and electrical devices which lift and rejuvenate the skin and I’ll be taking full advantage of the quiet time away where I plan to relax & unwind. The hotel is situated near Liskeard which is a beautiful village in a rural setting and the views are stunning, just right to relax in. 

My previous trip last weekend was to France. I took a little capsule wardrobe with me which was based around red pieces. Today I’m sharing one of the outfits although I didn’t actually get that many photos but I’ll showing of what I did get photos of in another post.

Style not Age Share Summer Whites.

Hello and welcome to my blog. 

Good to have you here my friends. 

I’m back after a couple of days in Amiens with David and our good friends. We were celebrating all their 60th birthdays. They took David and me away to the Isle of Wight last year so it was our turn to surprise them!

I’ll do a dedicated post for my trip so you can hear all about it but I’ll also post on IG if you’re interested in the meantime. 

It’s the last Monday of May, yeah crazy I know, so it’s time to see what the ladies from Style not Age have been up to. Our monthly challenge was set by Anna and it’s perfect  for the new season as it’s all about our …

Crochet Skirt/Waistcoat - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Good morning my friends. 

How’s it going?

I’ve had such a busy few weeks, I don’t actually know if I’m coming or going! I’m away at the weekend so I’ve been getting everything sorted and in place but there’s still so much to do! I’m only away for a couple of nights and it’ll be amazing once I finally get on the train. We’re off to France with four friends, I can’t say where we’re going as they read the blog … sorry Mrs W! 😂

I’m planning a little capsule collection for the long weekend and I’m hoping the weather is nice so I can wear my new red trousers and white jacket. If you follow along on IG I’ll share my choices with you and do a detailed post next week. 

Today I’m bringing my crochet piece to the game, so sharing this stunning skirt I’ve recently added to my collection.

Sharing Comfy Sandals & A Sundress.

Morning all. 

Hope you’ve have a splendid week. 

I’ve had a lovely, albeit very busy weekend and the next couple of weeks will be no different. I’m away next weekend and off to Cornwall the week after to visit my uncle.

I’ve had the run of birthdays last week, which started with mine. I was very spoilt by everyone with some lovely flowers, some excellent gifts and lots of sweet cards with lovely words in them. Anyone else love reading the words in cards? I’ve got a bit of a break until the next celebratory days arrive, which are spaced apart now. 

On Friday it was my granddaughters 11th birthday, I can’t believe how fast the years fly by. It seems like only yesterday she was born. I also went to my ballroom class where we started learning the jive! We’ve done this one before and I have to say it’s not one of my favourites, but maybe it’s because we’re learning it slowly, which is a shame because I’ll miss the next two sessions, so will be back to square one!

On Saturday I caught up with some ironing and housework. I was on my own and managed to get loads done, and got the house nice and tidy. When David got home he came with me to the local shopping centre where I had to pick up a package from Next. David picked up a few bits in there and also in M&S, but unfortunately the jeans I’m after were still not available and as the online facility is down, I’ll have to wait until I pop in again! I’m still after those barrel leg jeans - which is a pain!

On Sunday, after helping with the AirBnb I went with the girls to my granddaughter’s birthday party. She went to a place called Elev8 which has all sorts of trampolines, games, soft play areas and an arcade. They all had a brilliant time whilst enjoying all the different areas so my girls and I managed to chat & catch up over coffee’s. After that we took them to McDonald’s which they loved. I’m very proud to say I passed on any of the fast food due to my Keto diet! I also cooked a roast when I got home complete with roasted cauliflower and vegetables. Have any of you ever tried the Keto diet?

Sun Dress, Thread Earrings & Chic & Stylish Linkup.

Hello and welcome to my blog.

It's good to have you here my friends.

Happy Birthday to me!  Yes it's my birthday today, this is 61!

How's the last few days been?

With the weather turning warmer here it's been lovely to wear some summer clothes.  I've taken full advantage of the sunshine by wearing some little Tee shirts and have picked up a little bit of colour!  The only problem is my legs are still a pasty white.  I need to get my usual tanning mousse - St Moriz which I love. It’s easy to use and is streak free and I’ve spoken about it on here before. They also have a face tanning spray which I swear by! I just give a couple of sprays on top of my makeup before I go out, it slowly builds up a nice healthy glow. X

I’ve got a cute little sun dress to share with you today. It’s a perfect style for summer holidays, or weekends away when a leisurely walk around the town or by the beach when this beautiful dress will be raising eyebrows and claim lots of charming comments.
