No. I haven’t been up that way to look at charity shops yet. I should do.

The big draw in the area is the pub and Belfairs Woods. Chazzers are few and far between in those parts!

I’ve only been to the woods twice, but was planning to do a walk there while the leaves are autumnal. I haven’t tried the Inn either yet!

I will hopefully find a parka next weekend while I’m in Southend and Shoeburyness.

Oooooh, bought something completely out of my usual comfort zone during the week……a black leather a-line midi skirt from the Sue Ryder chazza £6.99 and the most gloriously soft and sumptuous leather. Not a clueby doo how to style it but …..hey ho!

Then today in the Thirsk, Herriot Hospice shop I could not resist an L K Bennett coat, paid £45😳  but fits beautifully and not a mark on it.  Found it for sale on FleaBay at nearly £300🤭

Maybe the skirt needs a big loose turtleneck jumper with matching colour tights?  Scarf or brooch on the jumper?

@Miró - I love the skirt, perfect for autumn and winter! I have similar in brown leather which I don't wear anywhere near often as I should, the cut is very forgiving. Can be styled in a multitude of ways - for your black one, I'd probably go with a smart blouse and furry gilet on top should it get chilly.
