I have to admit I did a brief double take when I read "...my daughter bought me some lipsticks I'd wanted and a red cross body bag (I now have 2); " I thought what on earth would anyone need a Red Cross body bag for, let alone two?!

Can you actually go into the Bodleian? I've a friend who's a librarian there and she often mentions having to turn tourists away. Oxford looks utterly lovely, though - such a pretty city. <br /><br />I hear you on the domesticity front - it wouldn't be so bad if it were ever actually *done*, but as soon as it's done it feels like it's time to do it all again... You're right about line-dried stuff, nothing smells as good.<br /><br />I hope your mother's day excursion was fun!Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265205501987535034.post-31639939081550028382022-03-28T18:22:48.132+01:002022-03-28T18:22:48.132+01:00Thank you, Gisela.

This is where working in the city for over 30 years comes into play and I can name your two photos for you. The first one with the railings is Trinity college and the second one is the chapel at Merton college.<br />Oxford is terrible for charity shops , Cowley centre was probably your nearest. I'm intrigued that you chose to visit Wantage! The botanical gardens are definitely worth a visit when the weather is better, I love going there.<br />Isn't this weather just blissful?

Beautiful. Sounds like you had a lovely birthday and weekend trip, I loved seeing the pics of Oxford. <br />Your suede gilet was quite a find and looked amazing in the outfit you put together. And you family birthday meal sounds amazing too, bet all those fab dishes took ages to put together, but when it’s made for loved ones we don’t think of the labour eh. <br />Enjoy your fortnight In this glorious weather!<br />Hugs xxx. thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265205501987535034.post-89530968632217511382022-03-24T03:58:14.580+00:002022-03-24T03:58:14.580+00:00happy belated birthday!

I'm loving the Arts & Crafts pewter pot in particular.<br />I had to smile when I read that you now have two red cross body bags. Isn't it typical that once you find something you've long been looking for, its twin soon comes along your path?<br />I'm loving the New Look tunic you wore on Saturday, and tagging along on your visit to Oxford was an absolute delight. I love Oxford - we have visited several times - but it's true that it's a tourist honey pot. Being the weekend, it will have even been worse than usual. <br />We will be off to Bruges next week, but have opted for mid-week to avoid most of the crowds. <br />The Arts & Crafts book was a great find, as was the Per Una maxi skirt.<br />What a relief you found out about that walk in the nick of time! And yes, domesticity really is the bane of life! I'd love to be waited on hand and foot sometimes :-) <br />The weather has been lovely isn't it, perfect for walking and gardening. It's wonderful to see colour popping up in the garden again. <br />And there's certainly no lack of colour in your gorgeous outfits. My favourite is Sunday's dress bought in a charity shop in Ireland. I'd wear that in a heartbeat!<br />How exciting to have another trip to Ireland lined up! I can't wait to get back to the UK in June! xxx<br />Polyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265205501987535034.post-51971080736713355352022-03-23T15:50:29.271+00:002022-03-23T15:50:29.271+00:00Thank you, Beate!

I will check out the neglected and forgotten female authors. Lovely pics of the architecture of Oxford. I remember shopping there a few years ago, using the park and ride, but I didn't do much exploring. Glad you had a lovely birthday. I very much admire those blue tartan? check trousers!

One of my friends was at Balliol College, I spent many a weekend with her, the posh public school lads had never met women like us, state educated from a working class town - we had to beat them off with a stick!<br />Your walks, encountering beekeepers, goats, pigs and all manner of birds sound wonderful, thank goodness you remembered you were the leader and didn't go swimming.<br />Lots of fabulous outfits, the Per Una maxi, the all-blue outfit with the kimono and that incredible knitted star skirt. I bet it takes you ages to pack for Ireland with all that choice.<br />We're loving Dead Wind, thanks for the heads up!<br />Have a fabulous time on Mothering Sunday and keep enjoying this glorious weather, I had my bikini on today! xxx<br />Vixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.com
