Fun At The Circus and Other Things…

Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 31. I am immensely lucky in that around my birthday every year falls the Norfolk and Norwich Festival. It’s like they organise it just for me. There are various free events and art installations around town. Including neon signs and a huge red ball (it’s better than it

When You're Not Sure It Works….

You can’t get it right every time. Friday was the first day of the Norfolk and Norwich Festival and I’d planned to pop into town for a bit and then see a friends band play in the bar at the festival tent. The weather was rainy and miserable so all my summer dresses languished unwearable

Speccy Four Eyes….

Retro Chick has new specs…. You might not have even known I wear glasses, I’ve only posted photos of myself in glasses three times in two years. I normally wear contact lenses, the kind you sleep in for a month before changing them and I’d let my glasses prescription get really out of date. That,

Drinking Champagne in Fictional Hot Tubs

I am in dire need of a new swimsuit. My last one was bought in a fit of panic a few years back and is not only boring, but also not a great fit. I’m not a gym bunny, and neither am I planning any exciting holidays, but it would be nice to think that
