Hello and how are how lovelies doing?
Me? I’ve had a three month break from blogging. Did you notice me gone?
I’ve probably lost all of my followers but I needed the break.
None of us has too much time for reading copious amounts of blog narrative in these busy times IMHO, and I certainly don’t have time to spend hours writing and editing blogs, which was the impossible task I’d drifted into previously.
So I’ll keep my posts short and snappy until I rethink a way forward with The Pouting Pensioner.
Hope that works for you.
So here goes!
A summer dress isn’t just for swelteringly hot days. A cardi stretches its use through to the transitional months. .
.
I’m loving my new ritual of changing into something pretty when my day’s work in the garden is done. And this soft duck egg cashmere cardi is perfect for dealing with spring’s evening chills.
Are you wearing light dresses in these cooler prelude days to summer?
With a cardi over?
A la perchoine,
Mary x
What a pretty colour you are wearing - duck egg blue. Yes a lovely idea in these difficult times to 'dress up and feel fabulous. I admit to having been a little uncaring in my appearance just lately but your charming blog has given me incentive. Thank you
ReplyDeleteOh I would be so proud of I've inspired you to 'dress up and feel fabulous', Sally. Thank for popping in, stay safe, x.
DeleteWelcome back.
ReplyDeleteIn these days of being confined at home for days on end I find reading other people's blogs a pleasant way to pass the time.
You look very summery there. Our good weather throughout April has sadly come to an end and we are back to cool drizzle again, so no summer dresses for me yet.
So good to be chatting with you again, Jay. I need to organise myself to find some reading time like you do so well. Wishing you summer dress weather soon, hugs x.
DeleteWelcome back, PP!!! I love your dress and cardi combo. The colours are so spring/summer like. A bit of lightness that we need these days!
ReplyDeleteWell, after our little chat about blogging, here I am again. Glad you like the combo, are you in dresses in Holland ?!! Stay safe, x.
DeleteI definitely noticed your absence and I am glad to see that you are back. I missed your posts and photos of your home and surrounding area. I'm so glad you've returned!
ReplyDeleteHi Thrifthag, it's great to hear from you, and thank for your nice words, they mean a lot. Hugs, x.
DeleteI missed you terribly and was so glad to see you back.
ReplyDeleteAww that's so sweet, Terry, thank for your welcome back. Hugs, x.
DeleteYes missed you kept trying to find out why I was not receiving anything from you, so glad you are back
ReplyDeleteHi Polly, I'm so pleased you're here, it's great to be chatting with you again. Don't know if you picked it up last year but my grape vine pergola blew down in a storm last August but the vine is still alive. Hope yours is flourishing. Hugs, x.
DeleteHello Mary, it's good to have you back and yes I did miss you!
ReplyDeleteI understand completely about the time it takes with all this blogging malarky which is why I post only once every fortnight. I also have blogs that I follow and comment on and those that I read but rarely if ever comment on. I try to limit my blogging activities to two days a week (reading and commenting) but I write my blog almost daily. Finally, I stop following people whose blogs I comment on but they don't have the courtesy to comment on mine. Also, I don't advertise any products and I don't care about numbers! I don't know if any of this is helpful to you but it's how I manage my blogging life.
I love your duck egg blues cardigan and how beautifully it goes with your lovely dress. We definitely need transitional dressing having gone from warm sun to torrential rain and cold!
Take care,
xxxx
My dear Vronni, it's so great to be chatting with you again. I'm going to follow your lead and give myself blog reading days. Must catch up on what you've been up to.
DeleteGlad you like the dress combo and brrr, it's gone cool again, I've been in a jumper today!
Stay safe, x.
Welcome back Pout!! Such a beautiful outfit and truly one of those colors that lights you up. I have missed you from all the way over here in the Southwest Desert where it is 100 degrees today-ah Spring!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh Jules, thank for not forgetting about me! Have you been working on your Danish?
DeleteOh my, that's hot where you are already!
Stay safe and please pop back, knus x.
Although I see you on insta everyday it's nice to see you back here, lovely colours in your dress and cardigan. Have a great weekend in iso, stay safe and well.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, I'm so pleased you're popping in here to chat. Thank for your kind words, stay safe in Oz, hugs x.
DeleteI'm so happy you are back and YES we knew you were MIA! I am a big believer in a dress for all seasons! Hugs to YOU and TP!!!
ReplyDeletexo,
Kellyann
Hi sista! I'll be popping over to see what you've been up to soon. You always look fab in your dresses and they're such an easy wear eh.
DeleteStay safe my lovely, x.
And yay, you're back! I could see you on IG but not on the blog. So glad you've starting posting again ... even a short one is great! Love from New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteHi DeeJay, it is truly great to hear from you! I'm finding that returning from my blog break is getting people to comment on posts, people who seem to have been following me but had never commented previously. It is so uplifting, so please do pop back again soon!
DeleteHugs, x.
