Hello everyone. Can you believe that December is almost here and Christmas is around the corner?
Graham and I have exciting news to share. We have a new addition to the family. Our third granddaughter, Quinn, arrived over five weeks ago, much to the delight of her two adoring brothers Logan and Cole. So now that makes six in total; three to each of our daughters. So, yes, we are loving having a little newborn to cuddle.

Nova, her cousin will be one tomorrow and I really wonder where that year has gone. It is true that life speeds up the older you get and there never seems to be enough hours in a day.
Anyway, shall we see what my ‘Style Not Age’ friends have for this month’s prompt ‘Belt Up’?
I have been so busy with all kinds of stuff that I totally forgot all about it and just managed to take a photo when I was out and about with Graham. Nothing exciting here, just an everyday outfit with an animal print belt. The cardigan is newish from Zara and the jeans are from Cos last year. The bag is new though and is from Irish designers Lennon and Courtney and can be found online at https://www.kilkennydesign.com

My friends have put together some more inspiring outfits.
Look at how colourful Anna is and my goodness those jeans certainly reflect her passion for art. You can check her out at Anna’s Island Style.

Emma is also very colourful in her gorgeous metallic purple dress. Loving the gold accessories with it and I think I might have the same gold belt somewhere. And you know where you can learn more about Emma’s outfit? Yes, over on her blog The Style Splash.

Jacqui looks very elegant indeed. I will be popping on over to Mummabstylish to see where she got those gorgeous boots. And to find that belt.

I have had a busy November. We spent a fabulous week with friends in Portugal, we have had evenings out and spent precious time with our grandchildren. But maybe that is why time is flying by. As well as lovely moments, there have also been sad ones. A good friend died suddenly and it makes me more determined than ever to cherish every moment and to try and not sweat the small stuff.
Stay well my friends.
Thank you for reading.
