I'm hoping it truly is swinging back, Ted. The reverse is unsustainable for all sorts of reasons.

My niece introduced me to charity stores years ago. She's an interior designer, but she can look at a garment and know what to do with it to make it hers. She always looks trendy.

I don't know when I was last in a 'real' shop. Oh I do! It was when I was desperately looking for a dress for my daughter's wedding. I'm sure you read my ramblings on that.

100% wool is my kinda coat. I have one of Alistair's (he didn't even feel the cold) and I want to give it to someone who needs it.

Let's hope we have a growing number of inspired people, Ted!
