So yesterday I went to a fabulous local salon where my grandson's girlfriend is training, and offered her the opportunity to chop it off. She immediately told me that the length that it was would make the excess suitable for the Little Princess Trust which uses cut hair to make wigs for children and young people who have lost theirs through illness. I gather that I'm in good company as the Duchess of Cambridge has also sent some of hers.
So here 's what will get sent; the plaits.
And here's the finished result.
So not only did I get a free haircut, but hopefully someone will be wearing some strands of my hair in the future and loving their new look too.
