I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT MY LATEST PRE-LOVED BUY.......

[@AndreaJohnson-mz9kc]

As an ex-costumer, I suggest that you find a very pretty & slightly larger button & use it to replace the top button of your beautiful new/old crochet cardi. It's so lovely!! I need to watch this video again, because I love all of your videos, but especially interested in your downsizing/moving stories because that will be me as too as soon as I get emotionally ready. Right this minute I'm preoccupied reading through boxes of amazing letters from my old (& once bestie) gal pals (from 50 years ago!) In my effort to get ready to move on, I discovered hundreds of amazing cards & letters from my old pals when we were young & exuberant & such prolific writers & travelers. So much joy & love & where are these pals today? We've all grown into busy adults & lost track of each other. But what a wonderful bunch of memories are spilling back to me this morning. (That's why I need to re-watch your show... I wasn't giving it 100% attention). Looking forward to the rerun later today. You are a lovely inspiration to me Susie. Oh! Yesterday I spent time washing all the old collars & leashes from 60 years of my past doggies so I can give them to ARF, my local charity shop (that supports domestic animals in need). Couldn't part with all my doggie's items till now. Still makes me weep... We do miss our doggies, don't we. Cheers!!

[@carewiebe]

You are describing my life too 🥲. It all goes by so fast and before you know it everything old is making you cry. I am preparing slowly to move to a townhouse.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Aww, thank you so much Andrea! I hope your move goes smoothly when you're ready to do so. How wonderful to find all of your old letters, we don't really do that much anymore sadly! Sorry to hear about your lovely doggies, it's so terribly sad, but it is lovely that you can donate the collars and leashes now. Sending much love xx

[@lindacampbell540]

‘Pretty as a Picture’ in your new top, jeans and sneaks. Can not get over those prices, lucky you! Your hair turned out fab but it always looks wonderful to me. Lovely to see you so excited and happy. Hope you find the perfect house. Love from 🇨🇦

[@carolscott9973]

I wasn’t sure about the green and white crochet top, but once I saw it paired with the white bralette and the jeans, I loved it!!! It looks fabulous on you, especially with your new haircut - which you really rock by the way. It does make you look like a very youthful Anna Wintour.

“Ne'er cast a clout till May is oot.” The rhyme was originally recorded by Dr Thomas Fuller in 1732, though may be very much older than that. There's some debate as to whether “May” refers to the month, or to the may blossom of the hawthorn tree.

[@amelia2656]

Yes, I have always known it as ‘ne’er cast a clout till the May blossom’s out’. The very old lane near me is lined with Hawthorn trees that have been producing their very stinky blossoms for several weeks.

[@notaclue822]

In Vancouver we've had a lot of cool, rainy weather too. It'll change. I love your English culture and personally would never move away if I lived there.

[@dianemassey9420]

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Yes just stitch a little at the bottom of the button hole, making it smaller…I did it and it sorted the problem 😎

[@christinecowley3120]

Hiya Suzi, Great vlog!, I was thinking the green top would look great with all black crop top and black trousers….for evening occasions, lovely cloths all round! Those shops looked amazing great the way they match-up accessories with the outfits! So many things to think about regarding your future you know Brighton it would be shame to relocate…..just pack case go on holiday if the weathers bad in Brighton! All the very best Suzi. Your hair looks amazing!

[@mariarooney6262]

Love your friend. That first shop looks like they have wonderful things. The pink/black outfit you are wearing is so cool. Thank you for the history lesson. I love anything crocheted. Your hair looks great. You are looking better than ever. I understand about the weather, I would love to live in full time warm weather. By body loves it. I feel so much better. I’ve been wearing Castor oil starting last week. I’ve had it in my house, but wasn’t wearing it. Thank you for all of the videos you make, so enjoyable to watch, very uplifting. ❤️

[@missybekind5022]

Omg 😮 I'm in love with your new cut!! I'm so wanting to take that leap after seeing how gorg it looks on you. I'm on it!! (My bangs are not as thick as yours)😂 💇🏼‍♀️ Love the new sketchers I used to love Adidas but have changed over to sketchers, & as soon as you picked up that crochet top, I was saying, "Remember what you said, Suzi!😅😂😅 It looks Fab on!❤ I'm glad it's you and not me trying to decide where to move, after living in your beautiful home with that view!! 😊✌️❤️ Best of luck because I feel your house will be snatched up quickly!! 🏡

[@DianeClerkin]

your haircut is perfect, very stylish. The jeans look fabulous too.

[@thecarjacful]

Yeah Suzi. Stitch a bit round the buttonhole at the back. A few stitches should do. Loved the dungarees, the crochet top and the hair. 👍🏻💕

[@WildflowerNJ1]

Loved the outfits and your hair, Suzi.....have a great week xx

[@hazelkinvig-paul8231]

Your shorter hair really really suits you Suzi! You are looking younger and younger every time we see you. I am in Andalucia for a few weeks visiting a friend but I just HAD to watch you on data (another downside of Brexit means you can only have so much data and have to use it wisely.) A couple of little stitches to make that buttonhole a little smaller should ensure it stays done up. As always, a great vlog and a thumbs up from me. ❤ xx

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Thank you so much Hazel! Hope you are having a lovely time in Andalucia xx

[@janetthomas8244]

Yes, if you make the buttonhole smaller that should help. I am in Switzerland, south, just near the border with Como and we are having the same weather.

Great vlog Susi love the top dare I say it pulls a bit across the bust that's why the button comes undone. Hair looks great I keep threatening to take the plunge and go grey. Talking of caster oil I was looking at some I sent for and have never used. Look forward to hearing about the benefits xx

[@franwalker9437]

You look fab in all your outfits Suzy! I’m sure a little stitch on the edge of the buttonhole should stop the button coming undone. ❤

[@irisazul1980]

Use a pearl like slightly bigger button to keep it from opening since its first one adds a little something to it just an idea 😊

You said it, a stitch or two around the buttonhole and maybe a few stitches to make the neckline a little higher. It will be interesting to see your hunt for a new home but I would love to live in a place that's NOT sunny. The hair is lovely, you are so lucky to have such gorgeous hair.

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Thank you so much Karin xx

[@cIvy726]

Love the crochet top, and very much enjoyed the video :0). Will say, though, that I can't wear shoes with that protruding-backwards heel situation. When the heel hits the road, even before any weight is put on it, it rubs up the back of my skinny heel. It seem a very poor design to me. I tried it once, and couldn't walk a block without tearing up my heels. I hope you have better luck with them! AND best of luck with your fabulous house!!!

[@susanmackay66]

Love the hair! You are very entertaining, funny with a great personality. Loved the vlog today. We had a place in Byron for years. Loved it but it changed a lot during COVID so we sold it. I think the UK is really getting you down. We’re in Provence right where it’s beautiful and sunny. Pop over here! All the best from Melbourne x

[@AlternativeAgeing]

Thank you Susan, so happy you like. Didn’t Byron change? Everywhere has changed. Love Provence also love Melbourne. I’ll be travelling in the winter! It’s only the weather in UK that gets me down, it’s still the best for music, gigs, art, theatre and all the things I love.

"Ne'er cast a clout til May is out" I read is an old English saying which can also mean wait until the May blossoms before leaving your coat off, Either sew up the buttonhole slightly or buy a slightly bigger button. I've just had my little cat put to sleep with cancer I know how you feel our pets are our family and you miss them so much.
