Material World

And just a reminder, it's time to limber up for a genteel weekend scrum as it's the largest Swishing event to be held in the UK as part of UK Aware at Olympia this Saturday 26th March. Swap your old clothes for some new garments. The unknown nature of what's on the racks at these events and the ability of trying to spot a possible swap at 20 paces is what makes this fun and it's saving clothing ending up in landfill. How it works: take along up to 5 items of good condition, clean clothing that you are no longer in love with (or can fit into), pay a £7 admission charge on the door, hand in your items, then browse for a replacement set from items that other people have brought in and, voila, go home with a completely new outfit. Simple.
RIP: The devastatingly devine Ms Elizabeth Taylor
