Who knew Blighty was a National Humorous Weekly for only 6 pence? |
Dahlings, so sorry to have neglected you for so long but life has been busy and filled with glamour.
Like this.
Mr B: the hairdresser won't do Boy 1's hair - he has Nits! Mrs B: at least Boy 2 hasn't got them. Oh, yikes! |
And this.
1.30am: Mummmmmeeeeee. I feel icky-sicky Mrs B: just don't throw up on the new carpet, there's a dear |
Then Lovely B came to stay (cousin to Mr Blighty, partner in retail crime to Mrs Blighty) and Things Went Rapidly Downhill. We shopped for England. Our timetable went something like this:
Day 1: trip to picturesque Old Amersham, coffee and shopping ( more about this later)
Day 2: trip to Bicester Village (retail outlet and my spiritual home), coffee, shopping, lunch, more shopping
Day 3: trip to Eden Shopping Centre, High Wycombe, shopping, coffee, lunch, shopping
Day 4: no shopping, dvd of "Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" (brilliantly summarised by Faux Fuchsia as "I have a big tattoo, I have been abused, I want revenge").
Day 5: no shopping whatsoever
Day 6: Lovely B departs and credit cards cool down
So obviously I have had No Time for blogging.
On Day1 Lovely B and I popped into a brilliant shop in Old Amersham called Touch*, which belongs to Annette, a very pretty and stylish mother of one of Boy 1's schoolmates. Lovely B and I had the best time chatting to Annette and
* did you see how I worked that into the title of this post? good eh?
Note from Mr B: no, not good, really a bit painful to be honest
70s glam rock type dress next to Mick |
Should I buy this hat for The Wedding even if just watching it on TV? |
70s peasant number (yes B, I am talking about the dress) |
Vintage Cerruti |
I loved this |
Serious shoe lust for these |
I pounced on unsuspecting customer and made her model the hat, sorry Annette if I have so traumatised this nice lady that she never comes back again.... |
My precious! |
I came away from Touch with this silky tunic, the material is lovely and the details are nice, like the turned back cuffs and the brown leopardlike trim; Lovely B has advised leggings to go with. |

No rewards or inducements or stuff were given to me for writing about Touch but I am hoping that if Annette's son gets nits too, she will think twice before running me over in the school carpark
