Nothing beats that first cup of coffee at the start of the weekend.☕️

Have a super Saturday, lovely people.

Jean Patchett | 1954

Fishnets at the ready. It’s time to do the Friday dance! 🪩

Buona Festa della Liberazione! 🇮🇹🇪🇺

Still juggling my winter and spring wardrobes. 🌂⛱️

Have a fab Thursday.

Apologies for my absence of late. The inspectors have been in school. Ofsted, rather than the Clouseau, variety.

Rise and shine everyone! ☕️

#Monday

Leslie Caron | 1964

The UK government’s rejection of an EU offer allowing young people to work & study abroad breaks my heart.

The time I spent working & travelling in Europe enriched me beyond measure. Why should we deny opportunities like this to the next generation? 🇪🇺

Having been gripped all last week by Ripley, tonight I watch the original. I may need to dig out my deck shoes and roll my trouser legs up to enjoy the full effect.

Time to do the Friday dance!🪩

Piper Laurie & Rock Hudson | 1952

Morning everyone!

Still too soon to ditch the winter coat.🧥

Berlin | 1957

Finished Ripley last night. Amazing series. On the lookout now for something new to watch.

Good morning folks. ☕️🌷

She’s putting on a brave face, but I can tell Claudia Cardinale’s disappointed I couldn’t get her a ‘Colin the Caterpillar’. 🍰🎈🥂
#HappyBirthday #ClaudiaCardinale

Happy Birthday, Claudia Cardinale! 🎈🎂🇮🇹

Last day of the school holidays for me, so I suppose I’d better get on with some work.

Have a super Sunday.🌷

Off to a history conference at the British Library today.📚

Have a great day everyone.

Time to do the Friday dance! 💃🏻🕺

Have a fantastic #FBPE Friday!

Shirley MacLaine & Marcello Mastroianni | 1992

A tavola! 🇮🇹

Went beachcombing for mussels today … or as we call it round here, shopping at the supermarket fish counter.

Buon appetito a tutti! 🦀🥂

What a grey day!
