When it Looked Like Summer

Right now I am sat on the sofa with a racking cough. Outside it is grey and damp.

I’ve been fighting off a “bit of a cold” for a few weeks, but it’s finally settled down into feeling like absolute death. Which hopefully means that it will soon bugger off for good.

The weather forecast is predicting more SNOW tomorrow, which does not make me feel happy, but earlier this week it felt like Spring was finally on its way. I spent the night in a gorgeous country house hotel in Oxfordshire called The Manor, that I will be reviewing next week and spent some time cavorting around in the gardens in a tie front blouse and some swish new stretch Heyday swing trousers that I’m really looking forward to wearing this Summer, and I DIDN’T EVEN FEEL COLD.

So today lets not focus on the terrible weather, and how I feel poorly and sorry for myself, but let’s look at the pretty pictures from when the sun shone, and remember that soon it will definitely be warm enough to wear this outfit EVERY DAY to sit in pub beer gardens and pretend to play croquet.

Of course, I say pretending to play croquet because I have absolutely no idea of the rules of croquet. But I’m not averse to pretending I’m in an episode of Jeeves & Wooster and faffing about on the lawn waving a mallet around.

I’ve been wearing Heyday swing trousers for years. They’re a really good fit for me, but they’ve recently introduced a range with the same cut, but a very slight stretch to the fabric which makes them hugely more comfortable to wear, especially for things like travelling, and, well, just sitting down!

I will now include a photo of me sitting down, as evidence of their comfort.

Have a lovely weekend, and wish me less coughing and no snow!

    I love these styles of trousers but I’m 5ft and can’t really wear heels so I’d have to hem about 7 inches like I do with everything to get them to fit me and I think I’d look like a hobbit *sulk*

    Ah these trousers are lovely!
    What fab pictures you were able to take before the cold set back in!
    I was wandering around Cambridge without a coat on Saturday and then Sunday it was -1!
    Crazy!
    Love, Debs

    It’s been strangely cold where I am too, and those few spring-like days we’ve had I have truly enjoyed. Hope your health and the weather get better soon. Love the outfit. Those pants are awesome!

    Very interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don’t really provide anything that attract others, but I’m most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
