It feels as though we're gradually moving towards autumn, doesn't it? Not that I dislike the season. It's actually one of the nicest times of the year, the bronzes and golden coloured leaves on trees, the crisp fresh days. I could do with a few more hot summery days though before the sandals go back in the wardrobe and the coats make an appearance.
Talking of clothes the shops are full of autumn/winter fashions. Very tempting. I'll have to resist, unfortunately, as
(a) I'm not working so no salary = no new clothes.
(b) I'm trying to cut down on buying new, sticking instead to 2nd hand shops, and to making do and mending the contents of my existing wardrobe. No fashion magazines for me either. So I'll carry on crafting and maybe get around to sewing that velvet ribbon on to the hem of my aged cashmere cardi in a bid to liven it up.
