Rainy days and grey days seem to "smuffle" me, wear me down. Seems I am not my chatty self, well, that is to say I am myself, just the quieter version.
In January I like to refresh my colour palette - you know a bit of a post Mid-Winter detox, I hope you like my current inspirations...a cleaner, prettier balance of colour and simple feminine style a la Christie and McKenna circa the '60's.
Speaking of which I am really looking forward to "We'll take Manhattan" tonight on BBC 4 at 9pm. It tells the story of the now legendary photo shoot in Manhattan 1962 and the subsequent love affair between Jean Shrimpton and David Bailey.

Tonight's drama stars Amy Pond, whoops I mean Karen Gillan! and Aneurin Barnard. I have high hopes as BBC 4 has a very good track record...Enid Blyton starring Helena Bonham Carter, Fonteyn with Anne-Marie Duff and the excellent Nigel Slater's "Toast" were all great. Well done "Aunty", you do look after us well.
Love Sarah

Thanks so much for helping me find reasons to be cheerful, January can be less than cheery and my house sale fell through today meaning i lost my dream home. Let hope its not too soon till the spring sunshine arrives. x
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah - I do love your colour palletes. A new year a new you.
ReplyDeleteThere is something that feels so energising about them and I'm taking good note - thanks for the boost and thanks for the reminder. All sky+d and I'm just waiting until Mr Boo goes away again so I can sit down and enjoy.
Sunshine - 'yep' the sun is shining - greetings from Kent.
