I had good social media intentions. I was going to update my blog a couple of times a week, post on Instagram every evening, Facebook a couple of time a week. But it’s been a tedious time and one that I’ve struggled to turn in to an interesting read so I’ve let it all slide. I know it’s a bit disingenuous to only talk about the interesting stuff, but really, I think you’d all have run a mile if I’d kept you informed. So, I’m slowly crawling back out in to the light (with my UV protection on, of course) with blog brain engaged.
Over the past year, I have been attempting to Google my way around the landscape of Fashion Start Up Land. I’m learning the language and pitfalls but it’s an ongoing process. However, my most frequented place (actually, I feel like I’ve spent a lifetime there) is EU Regulation Land. Blimey! What a bummer of a place this is! I can’t find anyone who speaks the language and it has a climate of contradiction and indecision that no type of clothing can protect you against, dead end lanes that make you think you’ve arrived only to find that there’s a slippery mountain that you have to climb in your flip flops and a lake of treacle you have to cross on your hands. Then, you MIGHT, nearly have reached your destination. I can’t possibly go in to detail here as I will bore you all senseless; suffice to say, all UV clothing needs to be CE marked now. It’s a new thing and nobody knows much about it. And I’m still covered in treacle.
I’m going to leave it there.
Sorry, what was that……..? Do I want glass of wine………? Now? OK!
