I did have a weatherproof jacket in a lovely mauve colour, but it didn't cover my bum. so despite all the super duper weatherproofing fabric and technology that went into the making of the jacket I was still cold after walks. A couple of months ago my lovely neighbour gave me a very lightweight weatherproof jacket and I did doubt its effectiveness. I've worn it a few times now and it's brill, covers my bum and and is warm. The other coat was donated to charity!CrystalMoonCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903091876032634142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-4434514693776209822013-12-02T10:17:20.910+00:002013-12-02T10:17:20.910+00:00OOOOOH Meanie!

I did get some but most were hand-me-downs some from a neighbour and some from my gran's neighbour's daughter, who was a bit older than me, and her stuff was so much more fashionable. We had to pick through the items to see what would fit and what could be altered. I remember a Cream pair of Oxford bags (very wide trousers from the 70's) and they were way too big so I altered them and made a really smart pencil skirt which I still have today but no longer fits but may fit L one day.<br />CarolxCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04332392686031711784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-63164375387104220242013-12-02T03:15:37.683+00:002013-12-02T03:15:37.683+00:00Good for you Ilona, great jackets.

I hate my kettle as it pours water everywhere. I managed to 'win' the Dualit and it's like being given a first prize in the raffle. Just what I would have chosen myself if not so expensive.

We had a hint of a pink/gold/red sky last night but nothing like last weeks spectacular sight. Sainsburys look as tho the shoppers are gearing up to christmas, customers trollies and baskets are chocker with stuff that will probably be destined for the trash before it gets used due to the use by dates, I do not bother with the dates etc, nothing wrong with using my nose, & good smell etc will soon tell if things are good still or bad. The only thing I have extra is I have stocked up with the Cat food that has been on offer, I do not own a cat but I have ferral cats that come into my yard for food each day I think word has gotten around, Number 51 gives lovely food to strays and vagabonds as from 2 cats I now get 5 daily visitors., they look starved when they start calling in but after a week or so they start plumping up and looking good, I just wish they were not so scared, but time will tell. The village fair looked a good one Ilona, I went to one last Saturday and there was only 3 stalls and a raffle it was well attended as other years it has had dozens of stalls . The highlight tho was the lunch the chapel put on, so cheap soup/ with bread roll was £1-30 as were various sandwiches with side salad so some of us who meet each week took advantage of a lunch for £2-60 <br />Danneke Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-23750666123648430252013-12-01T21:36:24.604+00:002013-12-01T21:36:24.604+00:00Those sunset pictures are gorgeous.
