    The raspberry. I loved the yellow one but it was more expensive plus, although yellow is my favourite colour, as I have yellow hair and yellow skin colouring I’m aware I might look like a banana 🤣

    On a separate note am watching Top of the Pops glam rock special. I can almost smell the Miner’s musk 🤣 Some of it is a tad before my time but I did used to love my glam rock 😆 My sole ambition from the age of 2 was to be on Top of the Pops, either singing or dancing, I wasn’t fussy. My mum tried to get me in the audience when I was 13 but you had to be over 18 ☹️ She rang up to complain and got through to the producer and gave him a piece of her mind 🤣

    One of the local shops here stocks lighthouse, so we’ve had a few bits and they’ve been very good and long lasting.

    That’s good to know as I’ve never heard of them, they just popped up on my FB feed.

    Mr SA has reminded me he still wants a bomber jacket 😭 This is because I’ve ordered a new coat for myself. He seems to have forgotten about the very expensive coat he had last year from M&S 🙁

    You were a bit posh with Miners Musk SA, we used to get the body sprays from the cheapy shops. More affluent school friends would sport Charlie (lucky devils).
    Its not really bomber jacket weather now, they are more of a light jacket. Can you put him off until spring?

    I’ve got an ear worm now…..’that’s neat, that’s neat, that’s neat, that’s neat I really love your tiger feet…….’ 
    Never heard of Lighthouse coats - will investigate. I’ve just crocheted a scarf to match a turquoise coat….got my coat out and I’ve lost the Velcro strap that wraps around my wrist…..sleeve is way too long without it. Need to see how I can sort it now I’ve got my posh scarf 😕

    @milann you could  maybe jazz it up with some turquoise satin ribbon instead of the strap?
