Charity Update March

I have had a good month in the charity shops. My collection of cardigans in every possible colour and style is growing. I feel I should try to curtail the purchase of these items but they do come in so useful in the British climate. In the winter they add a cosy extra layer and in the spring and summer they are so versatile in keeping that evening chill at bay and finishing off an outfit. They aren't as bulky as a jacket which can get too warm and then is annoying when you have to carry it. A cardie is a versatile extra light layer which can be added or shed really easily. And by the way I ain't talking old men's cardies here.

You can see ironing isn't top of my list of priorities

But above all they are very very essential and wonderful in summer at concealing those upper arms which how can I put it when you reach a certain age ......can be a bit flappy!

Long live the cardie.
