A belated Happy New Year! I'm back from ten days of warmth on my bones.......

[@joyceohri3919]

Love your earrings! You looked fabulous in them. I love Desigual. Heard it’s much cheaper in Spain. True life is too short! I love your style! God bless.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Thank you so much Joyce xx

[@gayleavenell656]

What a breath of fresh air you are. I am loving every one of your posts. I am an Australian fan. More please.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Hello Australia, how I miss you! I will be back as soon as I can be. And thank you. I'm on every single Sunday morning at 10.00 a.m. UK time. Where are you? x

[@annhall1448]

I live in corralejo. Lovely walks along the Bristol paseo through the port along the beaches towards grandes playas. Lots of lovely little cafes. Also craft markets at Campanaria and Spanish music. It's a very relaxed atmosphere here. Have a lovely time.

[@serenahamlet3974]

You look fabulous! Oh ... what sunshine can do for our soul!

[@kathleenphipps2532]

Happy New Year back to you and all your subscribers. So relieved to know Jack is still fit and well, hoping the year is good to both of you xx

[@1110karin]

I love the girly dress and I would wear it with tights also and I love Robbie Williams and dream of going to a concert one day. I live in Hollywood.....Florida but went to a little town in Georgia to spend with family and play pickleball in below freezing temperature. Hopefully going to visit my family in the Netherlands this year. Yes live it up, you and Jack.

Good luck with Fuerteventura.We found it very lacklustre and disappointing.Also the wind is beyond....spent any time on the beach with towels wrapped round our faces like Lawrence of Arabia without the soundtrack🤣Looking forward to you unearthing(unsanding)It's delights.🤔

Great to see you your looking really well & gorgeous your hair is very nice pleased Jack is OK Xx

[@dloveofgod8269]

Hello Suzi! Happy 2023💕. How wonderful that you enjoyed your time in Lanzarote with warmer weather. Had some really cold weather here then high winds & thunderstorms and snow the last few days. Maybe seeing your lovely vacation will bring us virtual warm weather. So glad Jack is doing well, looking forward to seeing you both walking in your next vlog. Any sighting of Fox's babies? Your clothies were great & the poofy sleeves really add to the new dress you showed. The bling bling outfit is very nice! Have a wonderful week and good health for all of us this year. 💕

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Thank you for your lovely message. I'm afraid Sox the Fox has gone for good so am now putting food out and hoping one of her cubs is coming in. The food is disappearing so cross fingers she or he has the same nature as the gorgeous Mum. Miss her so much. But Jack doesn't!!! So glad you like the new clothes. x

[@joseel8280]

Hi Suzi SO glad you’re back. Love the khaki dress and your tracksuit where did you go in Lanzarote like you I am on my own and it looked just right for me. You look very refreshed and fabulous as always ⭐

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Hotel 10 White Suites.....Playa Blanca/Dorado, very lovely and not too built up -yet! So happy you liked my new purchases! x

[@janetmitchell8744]

Welcome back. I missed you. Your vacay looked wonderful. Greetings from Florida. It is cold here-frost on the roofs this morning. Loved this blog. Those earrings are outrageously terrific. The jumpsuit was beautiful, and loved the bling suit. I wear shorts too. How can you not wear shorts in Florida. I just celebrated my 76th birthday, and I try to celebrate everyday, partying like 1994? Happy new year!

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Quite! Shorts all the way on the beach. So glad you liked it all, thank you Janet. x

[@fip62]

You look so well Suzi, love the t-shirt and earrings but aren't you cold? I'm wrapped up in a thermal vest and two woolies, it's got much colder today. Lanzarote looks lovely, glad you had such good weather.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

I wasn't cold when I filmed it but probably had the heating on! Hate having a cold nose in my own house but am freezing now! x

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

Looks like you had a fine time on your trip. Appreciate the packing tips. Working on what to bring to Hawaii from frosty Michigan! The green dress looks cute on you. I like the sleeves.

[@susandavis4821]

Morning Suzi missed you but glad you had a great hol. Hair looked darker. Loved seeing your packing stuff and all the clothes you bought shopping is my hobby too. Bought yet another Ribkoff jacket makes 6 now. Been to lots of gigs seen my man Paul Chowdhry lots of times, gorgeous man! Was up town to his gig New Years eve early show they closed all stations, bridges etc took me hours to get home but worth it just to see Paul.Seen Emily film, See how they run and The woman King all watchable but not great. My birthday next week so booked lunch next Sunday, cinema Wednesday lunch Tuesday and will go up West end Friday for retail therapy as a treat for my birthday may have lunch out somewhere.Have a great week Suzi, glad your back Lv Suex

[@AlternativeAgeing]

A very Happy Birthday next Sunday Sue. Glad you are making the most of life! xxx

[@EileenR11]

Happy New Year! Love the dress, bling bling tracksuit and earrings, though the memory of the pain of clip on earrings isn't a good one. I have never been to the Canaries. My sister goes regularly and I keep thinking I might join her for a few days sometime.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

I think you should, you'll be pleasantly surprised! And glad you like my new purchases. x

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Anywhere in the Canaries. And if you get a villa or apartment you won't have horrible hotel music night and day! Or a quieter hotel. They all seem to love performances in hotels in Spain! x

Where would you recommend in Lanzarote for a 16yr old nephew? In the summer, Water sports, lively etc..

[@AlternativeAgeing]

I'm afraid I don't know but H10 are great hotels so have a look at all of them on the island 'cause some of them cater for grown-up kids v. well. x

[@susanparsons9365]

Where is Lanzarote? It sounds and looks like Game of Thrones - with a resort .

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Hi Susan, Lanzarote is one of the Canary Islands. Such a lovely place! xx

[@hocksterful]

Love your videos and your style! Just bought 3 of the desigual shirts you’ve been wearing and love them. Thanks for turning me on to them. Also the track suit is the bomb! What is the brand? Would love to buy. I’m in Florida so wear summer clothes all year long.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

So glad you are into Desigual as well. Aren't they just the best! The tracksuit has TATU inside it. www.mondoie.com/collections/tatu Interesting clothes, all sold out!
