Are you a beige dowdy?

Form an orderly queue!
(Or alternatively you may wish to have a look at a website called Turtle Doves-add the www. and .com for yourselves - so that I am not advertising)

Maw, I've just been on their website, they have a lovely beige one, it's rather chic. ?
I've had to come off the site or I may be tempted.

Thanks, Maw. Recycled and made in Britain too. I was getting quite excited at the very low prices as well (straight to the sale page, of course) till I realised I was looking at an ear warmer headband.

Of course they were beige lemongrove! worn with a turquoise top and navy sandals.
No socks.

I like the beige neutral one

How do you recycle cashmere?

Does this mean that someone fished my shrunken cashmere cardigan out of the bin and recycled it? I only washed it on a cold wash, honest!

I think they use “ends of lines”, overproduction, surplus fabric from manufacturers etc but yes, also your own cashmere sweaters if not consumed by moth. If they are felted or have shrunk I would not be too sure, but I think you get a pair of wrist warmers/fingerless gloves for every sweater you send them!
Check them out.

Ha! As if, Jalima. I think we've all been there, lady.

Though perhaps not all of us have machine washed a suede skirt, because one nutter helpful person on the world wide web said she'd done it many times...

I have made that kind of mistake, Maggiemaybe. I tossed a wool sweater into the ordinary wash because it was swing labelled as 'machine washable'. It was only when it had matted and shrunk, I read the inside label that said 'wool cycle only', or words to that effect!

Mônica, I’ve done that. Came back exhausted from visiting my dying father in hospital, after a four hour train journey, put my washing, including two beautiful wool jumper dresses from Jigsaw, on a wool wash, had a shower and got everything ready for the next day at work, came downstairs expecting to hang up the washing to find it still churning away. I’d put it on a boil wash.

Grannyknot Taupe is quite a different shade from beige as it contains much more bounce of colour.

Ha! As if, Jalima. I think we've all been there, lady.

Well, it could have got caught up with a load of dark washing and gone in on 40C

wots a bounce of colour?

maggiemaybe you alluded on the last page to ‘those multi-pocketed hiking trousers’.
Here I am wearing mine, going up the Wrekin with SiL, DGD and DGS. Note DGS has appropriated one of my walking poles.
My trousers, by Rohan, are a suitably dowdy, drab, shade of mouldy green.
Linen shirt by Tesco.
Boots by Alt-berg.

Perhaps your DGD's trousers are a bounce of colour

I haven't been up the Wrekin for years.
Although we often go "all round the Wrekin" as the saying goes. I used to be able to see it from my house

I don’t know Shropshire very well jalima but it was beautiful today ?

Oh, that was today; I didn't realise. Glad you enjoyed it.

We must re-visit Shropshire some time - I did live in Staffordshire but could see the Wrekin from there

You are a girl after my own heart janeainsworth I have several Rohan trousers in dowdy shades & OH loves his Altberg boots. I haven't been up the Wrekin for ages, it's a very stiff climb but I live in Shropshire & GNs welcome to visit at any time but not en masse

Will and provided Lazigirl?

Lazigirl Might take you up on that one day I’ve been looking at the map and rather fancy a few days walking or cycling in Shropshire, next year maybe!

Yep. and , not homemade, am no domestic goddess, and free (shortish) guided walks thrown in. Not up the Wrekin

The nice thing about Shropshire is that it doesn't feature heavily on the tourist map, has lovely countryside and even in summer there are plenty of quiet spots which are great for walking and cycling.

Yomping over the Long Mynd and the Stiperstones?

The nice thing about Shropshire is that it's not beige?

My brother and family live up at the top of the Wrekin very near Stiperstones! Beautiful part of the country.....wonder if the pub still does a good lunch?

Jalima; ????? Please translate; I'm not multilingual and know it's not English or Strine! Does it mean you don't like beige?
