Hello, Elle!
A pity about the Nubucks!
The StormSure will do the trick, hopefully.
I think it was loon pants the Bay City Rollers wore.
Have you heard of them, maybe?
I am just getting ready to head out for a dander.
Now will I wear a skort, loon pants, or round trousers!

I should wear all of them and keep warm!

Pigale

I know what you mean about the contrast in lengths. A friend who I have known for about 30 years, wears a suit with a short skirt but a long jacket. The jacket goes down to about 2-3 inches above the hem of the skirt. She is about 55 now but looks great in this.

Jigjag, 55 is still reasonably young, particularly if you still have
'a body'!

I hope your friends enjoys looking 'great' for some time yet!

Good afternoon, Rusty!
I think my Nubucks' days are numbered!
But I have duly "mended" them, and hopefully they will last a little bit longer.
Mind you, I'm going to need wellies and /or a canoe if this weather keeps up!
And rain wasn't even forecast for today...it was supposed to be "dry".
Yes, I remember the Bay City Rollers....
Looking at photos of them, they seemed mainly to wear what we would now refer to as "cropped" trousers/ jeans.
But I guess fashions do not change all that much.....styles do come back...just slightly altered in some subtle way from their previous appearance!
Like flares...now somewhat slimmer and less exaggerated and called bootleg trousers!
How was your walk?
Whither did you wander?

Hello, Elle!
How about keeping your Nubucks for when you are "helping" your husband with the garden work?
And invest in a new pair for your walks?
It's a fine day here, now.
If it's still raining with you, a canoe or a pirogue would come in handy, right enough!
I am out of my depth with this talk of fashion and clothes.
I'll leave that to Pigale and you!
I like to appear reasonly kempt and my granddaaughters are perfectly content to sit alongside me when we go out, so I suppose I'll "do"!
I just had a stroll to two building sites to see how the work was coming along.

Don't worry Rusty, I think we have more or less exhausted the
subject, have we not Elle?

Hi, Rusty!
Ah, I am ahead of you here...I already do have a "spare" pair of (new) walking boots, standing by........all ready to leap into the fray when needed!
I am just wearing my old ones out.
( I wear clogs in the garden)
I am sorry that we have been talking of fashion....but...er... I wonder who it was that first mentioned "skorts" yesterday?
Now....was it The Kinks who sang about "a dedicated follower of fashion"?
I appreciate that you are not a "fashionista" (what a nice word) but I'm sure you scrub up very well, when going out with your granddaughters!
What is being built?
I had thought the "new" cafe was already finished ?
Didn't you say that you and Miss L-B were considering going there on your next trip out?
Yes, still raining!



Yes, Pigale….. we shall talk of something else.....

Hello, Elle!
Oh, you have new boots?
I am very reluctant to give up good shoes.
I have a pair of Nike trail shoes that are falling to bits, (more glue than anything else holding them together) but I won't give them up.
They are now my "cemetery going" shoes.
But the Nikes are the best walking shoes I have ever had.
It was me who mentioned skorts, do not you remember?
Now, I dislike words with "ista" on the end of them.
Very much of a "Oh amn't I the clever one using words like this" tone about them.
There is a new ALDI store being built close to ASDA and they are doing the ground works now, and an upgraded road leading to it.
That was my two sites.
Some great machines doing the digging.
I was impressed!
Yes, we plan to go to the new restaurant on Friday to try it out.

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, comfortable walking boots are important -- I probably wear my Nubucks for a longer period each day than I do any other pair of dressier shoes/ boots!
Of course I remember that it was you who introduced the topic of ladies' golfing fashions yesterday!
I was just making sure that you recalled it as coming from you, and not from me or Pigale!
We have an Aldi.....I may have told you?
It does have some good "bargains", but I do not much like going there.....
I prefer Sainsburys.
I wonder will your Asda lose business when the new Aldi opens so close by?
But as a customer, you may benefit....prices may drop in competition?
I hope you like the new restaurant when you try it out on Friday.
It will be handy, at least, if it is close by..... and near enough to walk there?
