Okay – right this minute – what are you wearing?

Moi, from the bottom up: bare feet, Next jeans, turquoise, V-neck, sleeveless top with a small sort of lacy appliqué decoration (one of those wrinkly fabrics you don't have to iron), a teal shrug, full face paint and blow-dried hair, plus two-tone watch, blue bead bracelet, pau shell pendant and earrings.

Oh nellie how I wish that I had the gift of the beautiful Scots' accent. I was born and raised in the Midlands but have lived here for nine wonderful years. The nearest I shall ever be to being a born-again Scot, was when I had a blood transfusion after hip surgery. That nice dishy surgeon assured me that it was "home grown"... grin

I never wear any rings. I like my hands to be untrammelled. Rings just get in my way or fall off, as happened to my wedding ring a few weeks after I got married. It fell off into a bundle of hay I was loosening for a horse, probably into its next mouthful as it was nosing me out the way!

soopwhereabouts in the midlands did you come from?

I love rings and have inherited a number of family rings. Even as a child, I adored them and used to love to play with my aunt's jewellery box – she also loved rings. Tried wearing a bracelet yesterday and it got on my nerves, but always wear several rings.

Smartish Evans jeans with belt, white M & S T shirt - a bit short and keeps riding up, tan sandals, earrings, bangles, white watch and pink necklace, wedding + eternity ring. Wore a grey/blue linen jacket to pop into work though it's chillier now so will wear navy cardigan/jacket if I have to go back. Hair scrunched but going floppy because of the wind. Glasses and of course make up.
