About Me
- Susan Harwood
- It's one of those odd things . . . I live in my little house by the sea and listen to the radio and reckon I know best about more-or-less everything . . . as I keep telling the news-casters, the policiticians and all the experts interviewed there. I shout quite loud - but I'm beginning to suspect they can't hear! Sometimes, I write to my MP . . . but there's always more to say. So, here it is!

I don’t go shopping for clothes very often, but even here I am astounded at how dull the colours are much of the time – except in Summer.
I used to think that the colour of our clothing (females really) reflected the economic climate, so either we have been heading for this recession for years or grunge never left.
I’m following a blog through Gabigecko, called Concrete & Honey. She is planning a Bright Week starting from 30 March.
Bring on the Colour, I say !!
Hello Bare-Faced Gardener.
I'm almost thinking we wouldn't have had a recession if clothes had been brighter and more interesting.
I know it isn't as simple as that but in retailing - if shops don't sell anything worth buying, they'll sell nothing; or next to nothing.
I buy few clothes. I'm still wearing clothes I bought in the early eighties (!). Nearly all the rest are pass-ons or second hand. Same for others in the family. But I don't even see things I wish I could buy. And when it comes to clothes for my son - often perfectly straight forward things like nice (as opposed to dull) jumpers - they simply don't seem to exist.
(I bought a pair of red shoes last week and, rather ridiculously, I've been looking down as I walk along so I can be pleased with them! But this is rare!)
I'll have a look at Concrete and Honey. I don't know if the colour of our clothing reflects the economic climate. I'd like it if it helped cheer people through the recession or helped us get out of bad times quicker.
(And about summer clothes . . . they may have been bright but they weren't a nice kind of bright; not here. There were liverish greens and disgusting purples with no subtlety. And the patterns were big sixty-ish swirls. For someone who has no interest in fashion, like me, to notice . . . they must have been awful!)
