Those books are right up my street, @goldfinches! And awww... to the Raymond Briggs. I'm sure you will love it!

Agreed, Scoff is totally me! Am surprised I missed this as it was published less than 4 years ago. Speaking of reading, I picked up these little beauties to enhance my literary enjoyment further:

Passing thro Ripon yesterday I could not resist calling in to the RSPCA shop and came away with an Oliver Bonas dress in brushed cotton, navy with small pink lightening bolt pattern, £5. Original shop price £69! (Had rather revealing splits showing too much leg so have sewn ‘em up!  Also picked up a DKNY dress in heavy pure silk, also £5.  Was an American Size 12 which I forgot was different from our size 12’s. 😠 Have managed to take in a couple of inches down the sides 😊. It’s normally a rather scruffy chazza, full of overpriced Primark, but yesterday they had lots of good makes, White Stuff, Crew, Seasalt for eg.

@Rosa_Damascena. Is that a hat pin on the bottom left?  Looks nice and stabby!

@Brie The parking was slap bang in the middle of Bedale High Street so I reckon I was gotcha’d by our roaming parking attendant who is notorious in the local area ☹️ Easy pickings on a busy car boot day!

I had a very long wander around Southend today. I found 3 dresses, but still not an outfit to wear to Taylor Swift. I might have to buy something new as it is in less than 2 weeks now.

@Rosa_Damascena - beautiful butterflies especially the one with the multicoloured wings.
@Miró - the Oliver Bonas dress is lovely and I think you're quite right to sew up the side slits. I can't imagine someone who likes the bodice and sleeves wanting to show their legs, can you?
@Wednesday2000 - why not buy new just this once, after all it is a very special outing.

Yes, exactly.

More importantly, how did you get Taylor Swift tickets? And do you need a +1?

My husband bought the tickets a while back. I can't remember what number he was in the queue, but we were lucky to get them.

My DiL is going tonight with her mates, one of whom will also be going to Wembley.
