Suzie, if your boots are a smidge tight, best way to stretch them is hold a hair dryer on heat setting (while wearing them) for a few minutes over the tight parts. The leather warms up. Then wear them straight away it will stretch slightly to your foot shape. Works every time for me.

[@EdelweisSusie]

And wear thick socks.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Thank you so much, will give that a whirl for sure. x

[@lesleyswitzer1018]

Hi Suzi I love your energy, style and you always make me feel you'd be a fun friend. My friends are slipping into old age far too early, mid sixties. Your independence and determination to remain vital and relevant is empowering. Go girl ....😅

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Thank you so much Lesley, I know what you mean! I'm now known by my younger friends as an age disruptor!!! Love it. x

[@janegoodfellow1529]

Re increasing levels of homelessness, it's so shameful that a few have so much - more than anyone could ever need - while many don't even have a roof over their head. I wish we could all just share what we have. There would be enough for EVERYONE.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

I so agree Jane. There is enough but many won't share you are so right. x

[@doreensavoie289]

Makes me cry, just the word.

[@WeLiveByTheSea]

I'm not a fan of the French tuck. It always looks like people can't dress themselves properly or have dressed in the dark or in a rush! However, it does seem popular so it's obviously just me!

[@nannybluebelle8643]

Oh it’s not just you , I know just what you mean lol x

[@WeLiveByTheSea]

@@nannybluebelle8643 I think it's one of those trends that people will look back on in years to come and ask 'what were they thinking?' rather like the trend when my son was a teenager and it was the done thing to wear trousers mid hip. I was forever shouting at him 'pull your trousers up, mummy can see your pants!' I had to bite my tongue to stop myself from saying the same to strangers on the street. Now I have to bite my tongue to stop myself pointing out to people they haven't tucked their shirt in properly. That look is understandable, just, for school boys but in adults I think it just looks sloppy.

[@danicacharles4221]

Love your dress, Suzie ❤ Your vlogs are such fun. Love you throwing some shapes to the drum and base rhythm you go, girl. 😊❤ Thank you for sharing Suzie 😊❤

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Thank you! x

[@sandieharding6337]

Hi Suzi, Thank you for time spent in Brighton. Brought back lovely memories for me ...had a week there last year. Loved Sussex and London. Your new place will be fabulous ... cannot wait to see it. I know you will just love it. Love from NSW Australia. ❤

[@veronicasmith1147]

A caster oil poltice for your bunion❤

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Yes good idea. I am a great fan of castor oil. Of course it hasn't hurt once since I told you about it! x

[@beckycollett917]

When is moving Day? Excited to see your new DIgs! Love the visits to all of the areas on the beach and around Rottingdean! Beautiful! Thank you Suzi.😎

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Don't know we haven't exchanged yet. Will keep you posted. x

[@suecartwright7431]

Hi Suzie the beautiful blouse you are wearing is better fully out rather than half tucked. What does others think? Just love it!!

[@nancygreen217]

I was thinking the same, the French tuck blouses the side that’s tucked in so some of the material hangs over, if that makes sense. The whole side is not completely tucked in.

[@essanjay8604]

I have a non painful bunion starting too. The joys of ageing! Helen Mary Jo who has a KZbin channel swears by Calla shoes which are apparently bunion friendly. Might be something to look at. There's nothing worse than spoiling the shape of a lovely pair of shoes when trying to accommodate a bunion!

[@AlternativeAgeing]

I'll have a look for sure and Sole Bliss shoes are very good too. Thanks lovely, x

[@bichonbuffo]

Hi Suzi, I can recommend getting a 'woollen' duvet, I got mine in John Lewis last year and it is the best duvet I have every had, warm straight away and breathable so you do not overheat overnight. Mine is a 'Devon Duvets' duvet that J. Lewis don't stock anymore as they have their own make, then they do a really expensive one too, 'Floks'. My Devon duvets are brilliant. Thanks for your lovely vlog, I must have a cycle along to Rottendean next time I'm down to Brighton, looks really good. I live quite near Peter Jones, its a beautiful store, they will have there xmas stuff soon and the restaurant on the top floor which has great views over west London, in fact the whole top floor has a brilliant 360 degree view much like your Brighton donut, ha!

[@WeLiveByTheSea]

I can confirm wool duvets are excellent. I've had one for years and love it. I'd never go back to any other type of duvet now.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Oooh I must go to the restaurant! I need a very light duvet and don't change them between summer and winter, isn't wool very warm? I just throw a throw on and my new flat is going to be very hot. I will have a look though so thank you. Suzi x

[@WeLiveByTheSea]

@@AlternativeAgeing I have a mid tog duvet and don't change from season to season. In the very height of the summer I pack the duvet away and use a linen throw otherwise the same duvet stays on my bed year round. I also live in a very warm apartment so I don't need a heavier duvet even in the depths of winter. Wool is breathable and as such regulates your temperature so that you're always comfortable. Well, that's my experience anyway. I discovered wool duvets when I was replacing my last duvet, years ago now. I'd heard terrible things about down duvets and didn't want to be part of that but nor did I want a synthetic duvet. I was on the horns of that uncomfortable dilemma when I discovered wool duvets. It's an eco friendly option that just so happens, in my opinion, to be the best option. However, they are expensive and not everyone can afford that outlay so I make no judgement on those who do opt for down or synthetic duvets.

[@keeptrying5962]

I don't know that I've ever commented, but I am moved to say that I admire your attitude for life, how you go and explore and experience and enjoy. Such an edifying example for all ! Also, truth is it was the cute outfit circa @29:00 which compelled me to type. 🤣 It truly becomes you, every detail looks just so (love the hair). Thank you for all your work and sharing with all of us. 🙌🏼

[@MeeMee-qt7ww]

Hi Suzie. I like you have a newly formed Bunion on my left foot above my big toe. It was painful but has settled down to non painful after my self care. Walking around the house or on the beach with no shoes on does wonders as it aligns your feet which makes a huge difference. Also very soft leather upper shoes that dont put any pressure on the bunion is the way to go. No flip flop footwear untill your bunion settles down as flip flops put strain and pressure on your new bunion. I learnt this self care by searching Utube on bunion self care.

[@brendacarrodus7767]

Great vlog Suzie love going in the lanes with you , you do inspire me to get out more and summer is coming here in NZ 😊

[@PaulineMoon]

Love the furniture in Peter Jones - that sofa in particular. I am looking forward to our move and going furniture shopping - looking for a new bed and sofa also xx

[@AlternativeAgeing]

I loved that big cream sofa too! I must go back and have a look at the price! x

[@paulinereakes5862]

Hello Suzie loved your trouser suit and the summer dress, you look fab in it.

Hi Suzie, you look fabulous as always! The last outfit is stylish! What a great buy for your boots! Happy Sunday and have a great week ahead!❤❤❤

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Great bargain aren't they, wait till you see the next ones! x

[@pomme800]

HI Suzie, loved this weekend‘s vlog... the shopping, the walks , everything.!..if your boutique ‘s name is spelled Vestiaire..it‘s pronounced as you said it first...Vesti-Air...it ‘s french

[@Glory3823]

much Better no Make up shows your Natural God given Beauty ❤❤❤❤❤

[@margothartwell6195]

With regard to bunions Suzie. My sister had hers removed surgically and it has come back. I have them on both feet but the left one is getting problematical. I am thinking of investing in some Sole Bliss, they are expensive but very comfy apparently. Love your sense of style. The furniture in Peter Jones looked gorgeous.❤

[@susanthompson5091]

Hi Suzie! Great vlog of Brighton. Loved the furniture and your summer frock. Amanda is certainly a talented artist . ❤🤗🇦🇺

[@jenniferball3924]

Great vlog Suzi . I was at the marina the other week. I feel just the same as you could be made much nicer. I have a bunion which doent hurt but you need shoes much wider or else causes problems underneath the feet xx

[@arabellamagnolia3013]

I like when you take the camera off yourself and show where you are walking

[@deanahurcombe9990]

Hi Suzi loved the vlog and the bed would look fab in your new flat hope it’s all going well for you see you next week 😊

[@suzannegreenwood5155]

Love your videos! I really don't care for the "French tuck" in the black and white top.....just my opinion but it looks much better out. Take care! 👍♥️

[@dorsetdolly1549]

Did you enjoy Lee, I thought Kate winslet was good ,very thought provoking with what’s going on now in the world. Love the dance moves.

[@calypso13100]

Just a quick question for you. And I may have missed this earlier. How are you doing with your recovery from your eye surgery? Did you have to go with out eye makeup or without washing your hair for a certain period of time

[@brookelyn9817]

You made a very smart statement Re: moving to your new place. You were looking at furniture and commented that you don't need a lot of furniture. When you do move live with what you have for a while, you will discover what you truly need and where things feel right for you. Take your time, and when you do need something you don't have, you won't feel so guilty about purchasing something that will add to your happiness. Good luck Suzie🎉💕💕

[@suzannegreenwood5155]

Didn't care for the French tuck but love you and your vlogs. So nice seeing places so far away! 👍♥️

[@renablythman6243]

When are you moving suzie?, I'm looking forward to seeing the move and the settling in with you, ❤

[@Annie-qu9ik]

Hi from Annie you look great in all those clothes and have a nice figure too. You are always smiling that is lovely would you say that you are mostly cheerful type or do you still have those down days etc? Do you have your new place picked out will you be uble to sow us the place you are going to buy.
