You know I love running. Despite the fact that I put weight on this year, because I used my regular running as an excuse to eat more than I used to, then let the regular running become rather more irregular… well, a gain was inevitable, really. But I’ve got back into it lately, combining it…

Bridging the Gap
This is a public service announcement. What follows below is an entirely sporty post. There is only a minimum of vintage style. But it is a good one. End of announcement. In my life as a vintage girl, writer and bloggy type, I do get invited to lots of fun things. I don’t usually have…
Transatlantic crew love
I know I say it a lot, but running has enriched my life… in truly myriad ways. From making me feel strong and healthy, giving me extra confidence and motivation to achieve more in my personal life and career, to bringing me into contact with people from all walks of life that I am now…
Running vs Tweed
Bon-journo, as Del Boy would say! Yesterday was a game of two halves and no mistake. It began at 6am with a rude awakening, a bowl of lukewarm pre-prepared porridge and some mild stressing, all because I was running my third half-marathon. At this point let me say for the record that I realise I…
Fast forward
Hello and welcome to another slightly rambly update on my life at the moment! To coin a cliché: what a difference a year makes. Yesterday afternoon, at about 4pm, I was walking along the seafront in Portsmouth, talking life and business plans with my dearest friend Naomi, after spending the day doing a promotional photoshoot…
Bit Bobs
Yoo hoo! I did plan to put this up yesterday, but the cretinous people at o2 Broadband ruined that plan. I’d love to have a full day of internet connection at some point… but enough about that. I’d like to announce the winner of the Vintage Trudy card giveaway, before regaling you with some more…
Run, Walk, Party.
Oooooooh, what a week it’s been since my last post! I honestly thought it had been a few days, so I was quite surprised to see it had been an entire seven. Let’s have a quick recap of all the things I did in that time, mostly in picture form. Last Saturday I ran a…
Getting ‘Real’
I’m going to have a little bit of a rant. The opinion I am going to air is not unique to me, but it’s not something I have written about before on here. But here it is anyway. I have a massive problem with the term ‘real women’. It’s a phrase that abounds on the…
Best Foot Forward
January. It’s such a cliché. Everywhere I look, there’s diet food on discount, gym membership leaflets being handed out, blog posts on resolutions and people vowing to take up this, and give up that. It’s nothing more than a recipe for failure, for the solution is probably just as cliché – you have to change…
Sieben, Acht, Happy Neu(n) Year!
And a very happy new year to you all! England is currently in the throes of the Apocalypse, as I write, rain pelts my window and my parents sit shivering in the cold due to gale-induced power cuts. But all is not lost, for if it is the end of the world, at least the…
