Today I discovered braces (although I prefer the word suspenders). I love them. I have been struggling with belts that have been really uncomfortable and Marilyn pointed out that the booklet I had been given on my ileostomy suggested braces. What a comfortable revelation.
Britain still treats braces as underwear and considers they should not be seen. They were popular for a 100 years before the first world war until uniforms, which used belts, changed the fashion. After the war waistcoat,s which hid the braces, also went out of fashion and braces went with them.
I could be converted and would love a matching braces, cardigan and slippers set.
They are also very handy for catapulting my used bags into next doors garden. His tomatoes are coming on a treat.

You are a goose !! and we love you heaps ...
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're comfy darling, but the mention of suspenders brought back horrible images (again) of the stockings and bare bum Oli described at the hospital!!! Note to self: when visiting the Beales don't eat locally grown produce. You sound much more cheery, still sending lots of positive vibes. Skip and I are off to the boat for the weekend so, I will be back posting rude comments soon,
