About Grownupglamour

Hello and welcome to Grownupglamour , my name is Jill James and I live in Launceston, Tasmania,
Australia’s island state.

I am the proud mother of two adult sons and a daughter ( who we sadly lost to a brain tumour

fifteen years ago) and a new little grandson.

I came across this quote by Nancy Milford in her book Voltaire in Love and felt it so reflected my thoughts at the time I began my blog.

” ‘She was waiting , unconsciously, for that time revolution which often comes in the life of a woman

no longer young and directs the future course of her existence”.

I feel that revolution quietly evolves in all of us and it fills and lifts my heart.

I have always enjoyed dressing as a means of self-expression and strongly believe this plays a major

role in our well being as we age. I am a keen gardener and enjoy growing heritage roses for their beauty as well as their history . I love to travel both in Australia and overseas .

I do hope you enjoy a peek at my world. My email address is james_jill @hotmail.com.
