Wonderful! I suspect that they will make a lovely accompaniment to.my lovely West Indian soup. (Spinach & sweet potato, with peanut butter. I'm eclectic )
The kilt? Yes. He's currently looking for work in the legal profession though (CILEX huzzah!) and I'm not sure how the hairy knees would work.in court :-)
I love my berets -- my everyday hat of choice. Turns out yesterday at school the children had to talk about a thing they found embarrassing.Small Boy said "my mum's green velvet beret, it's WEIRD." And the charlatans agreed with him!
Wonderful, thank you. Actually when you get to.the less fashionable waist sizes, Savvy Row are commensurate with the High Street aren't they? (I don't think £40 for a pair of good trousers is unreasonable at all!)
Sooooo.....this is the first time I've "said" this and you ladies a re all being so supportive so here goes.
I have lupus and indeed it sucks mighty-wise, and due to the lupus I have rosacea so I've gone from pale impeccable English rose complexion to surface of the moon. And that's rubbish but...

My Hairy Bloke is very hard on his trousers. They go, inevitably, at the knees - tear across rather than wear through. He's not that tall, so finding decent...

I made the V*A New Look pattern - it was a free download printable pattern from one of their exhibitions and I made it in a lilac gingham. Wore it with petticoats and heel. I looked as if I was wearing fancy dress.
I made the pattern again, in a very expensive black wool crepe with a red silk...
I wonder if it's supposed to be short for "Tesco's shop?"
They don't say "Waitrose's"... people go to Waitrose.... or Iceland (insert appropriate shop of your choice) it is simply not consistent GAAAH!!!
I don't drive, though Himself does -our car is sufficient filthy all by itself not to need it - so my main gripe is with much, much sillier things.... random possessives!
Tesco, the UK shop, is almost invariable referred to as Tesco's. Tesco's what?!!!
