The Penguinet

Good morning and Happy Easter.

Back again from the UK where I had a Very Happy Moment.

As a little girl my best favourite TV Programme was The Avengers. It was on Fridays at 8pm and generally I was allowed to stay up to watch it. I thought Emma Peel was the best thing I had ever seen.
Here she is on YouTube, set to The Kinks:

Ever since then I have had a secret wish for a leather Outfit.

So last week my Mum said she had always wanted to go to the Pittards outlet in Yeovil - Yeovil has been a centre for the leather industry for many years - the local Football Team is nicknamed the 'Glovers'

- and so off we went.

There was no-one else in the outlet and outlet or not it was not exactly cheap and  I am a one-handbag Girl so we walked through to their coffee shop. Past a rail of reduced leather dresses!
I thought I would die on the spot. They were. even reduced, more than I would normally pay. But I decided to try one on, just knowing it wouldn't fit or would look dreadful.
I asked the assistant where the Fitting room was - turned out there wasn't one - well the shop was empty anyway so I just put on that Dress... and knew I was Emma Peel.

I carried it home in my hand luggage, never trust KLM.

KerPOW!
