I have a secret. I don’t really understand what an infographic is. I get plenty of emails from people telling me they’ve created them, and to be honest it mostly seems to be what used to ...
I’ve had red hair now for 5 years. That’s probably the longest I’ve kept my hair the same colour for most of my adult life. I was getting bored of it, and needed a change, so last w...
I’ve avoided mentioning it so far, but no longer. There’s just no escaping it, the Diamond Jubilee celebrations are next weekend. We get 4 days off to make sure we have plenty of time to ...
One of the things I did over my holiday that warrants a little more attention is a trip to a pub. Pub visits are not normally a note worthy event for me. I am a CAMRA member and I love trying differe...
And I’m very, very tired. Returning to work after holidays has a disturbing tendency to have that effect. I’ve been on “holiday” for 2 weeks, though it was somewhat higgledy p...

As you read this I am technically on holiday! I shall be relaxing in the luxurious surrounds of a caravan on the South coast to help me get over all the actual work I’ve been totally unfairly f...
So, apparently the 90s are vintage. The Vintage Festival says so, so it must be true, after all, they own vintage now, right? This article has caused a minor storm in some quarters and a re emergence...
It’s time for a bit of glamour… Monday night was the Vintage Norwich Awards ceremony, and the culmination of 2 months of nominations and voting to finally reveal the winners. Thankfully t...
It’s about time I talked about Glossy Box. I actually signed up for Glossy Box last August, and paid for it, then 2 days later I got an email offering me a free box, doh! So I cancelled my subs...
Todays post is devoted to my favourite cocktail. The Manhattan. The Manhattan appears to have originated in the mid to late 1800′s, like most cocktails there are largely apocryphal stories abou...
Talk about Sunshine and Showers! It appears that it is currently barely possible to make it to the corner shop and back without being alternately baked by the sun, drenched in rain, hammered with hai...
You probably know I do love my books! In fact as one of The Historical Sauces I spend an awful lot of time lugging huge boxes of them around the country. I’ve got a few lined up to review for y...
Well, this is one of those updates that only really interests regular blog readers or anyone who happens to live in Norwich I’m afraid! I’ll start with the more general stuff for those of...
Todays Lingerie Love isn’t about pretty fillies with lace trims and pretty patterns. It’s about probably the most boring bra I own, but one of my favourites that deserves a mention. The T...
Todays Friday Frock Love is a new discovery. Last week, while in London for a blogger breakfast briefing, I also popped in to some press days I had been invited to. One of them was tucked away in a s...
Sometimes I think that should be the subtitle of this blog. With the addition, perhaps, of things I’d like to buy and occasionally things I was lucky enough to be given.Well, today I shall be c...
HAPPY EASTER! I hope you all enjoy a nice long relaxing weekend. I certainly intend to. Just in case it rains (or even snows!) all weekend, the Oxford Cambridge Boat Race is on Saturday afternoon, to...
Spring is definitely cardigan season. Too warm for big jumpers and coats, but too cold for Summer frocks the cardigan finds it’s natural home on warm spring days. I am of course aware that it&#...
I spent this weekend in London at a Most Curious Vintage Wedding Fair. Well, I actually spent Friday night in the pub with Mr Chick, Cathy from Perdita’s Pursuits and His Lordship, there were s...
Well, it’s nearly over! March, that is. March has been a crazy busy month. I like to be be busy, but I also like to set aside a certain amount of time for watching Poirot in my pyjamas with a c...
Today I’m going to talk about Pencil Skirts. I enjoyed writing the little piece on Breton Stripes at the beginning of this month, so I thought I could make it a semi regular feature, where semi...
MUA is a brand that several people mentioned when I asked for brands to review. It’s SUPER cheap, and I mean super cheap. It cost just one measly pound for a lipstick. If I am ever utterly dest...
Once again I’m here to tell you about what I’ve been up to in the busy, busy month that is March! On Sunday the Historical Sauces took a road trip to Hampshire to visit Mill Rythe Holiday...
Something I am finding a bit of a trauma at the moment is finding nice sleepwear. It is, of course, entirely possible that I am just fussy as hell. I can’t sleep in pyjamas, I want a nightdress...
Well, sort of. Last September my other alter ego Vintage Norwich teamed up with the local Cinema City for Norwich Fashion Week and showed Breakfast at Tiffanys. This time round we teamed up again and...
