Small Kindnesses and Other Stories

This week Hubby is away & I’ve been enjoying my solitude. And in the wake of my mum’s death thinking of the value of small kindnesses.

Closet therapy has always worked for me when I’m down. Playing with ideas, outfit formulas, and making new combinations always cheers me up.

I just finished reading twelve new Miss Marple stories, not written by Christie herself. And I think I’ve found my inner Miss Marple.
