What I’m about to say may just set women’s rights back by about 100 years – but I have decided that I love aprons.
I popped into Lincraft recently and was entranced by the pretty colours and styles! One or two may have just ended up sneaking home with me 
But what I love most about aprons is how practical they are.
Top 5 Reasons why I Love Aprons
1. They protect your clothing from flour or random splashes of sauce etc – which is great if you are a bit of a messy cook like me!
2. You’re busy cooking and there’s a knock at the door, or the phone rings. Instead of hunting for a tea towel or washing your hands, just wipe them on your apron and you’re good to go.
3. Many aprons have a handy front pocket. Great for storing a hair elastic or clip so you can pin your hair off your face when cooking, or a pair of glasses, or a tissue or pegs or …
4. They’re cute and great for a bit of retro style!
5. Maybe I’m strange, but it helps me switch off from work (I work from my home office) and get into “family” mode of an evening as I prepare dinner.
I’m even thinking of getting a couple as birthday gifts for a couple of special gals – but am a little bit worried they might get offended!
Do you love aprons too? Or would you be offended – or think it weird or old-fashioned – to receive an apron for a gift?!
