Recently I've been out several times with my camera, only to find that I've left the memory card at home. Because I use my camera so often, I've a tendency to plug the card into my computer and then forget to put it back into my camera later on. I'm definitely going to buy a second memory card to keep in my camera case so that I've always got one with me!

Fortunately thanks to modern technology, I'm still able to take photos on my phone, although my phone camera is only 2 megapixels so obviously not the best quality.

These (phone) photos were taken one afternoon recently when we went for a potter about the shops for something to do. My boots as you can see have been mended - I am so lucky to have access to a proper cobbler to do all my shoe repairs as the prices are cheaper than at a heel bar, the work is very good quality and I also trust them to do a good job on my vintage shoes.



Winter is probably my least favourite time of year, at least as far as getting dressed goes, because for the last few years I haven't really felt like I've got an adequate winter wardrobe - although this year has been the best for a while. I really dislike layering for warmth (as opposed to layering for the look of it) because I find it really uncomfortable, but I do at least try to make sure I'm wearing a few layers to keep warm. One little tip I have if you prefer to wear seamed stockings is to layer a pair of tights underneath your stockings - that way you still get the look of having the seams, but it is warmer than just wearing one pair of stockings on their own.


Hopefully next time I take my camera out anywhere I will actually remember my memory card and not have to rely on my phone! Perhaps I should make a late New Years Resolution to try and be less forgetful.
