A couple of weeks ago we spent a weekend in Taunton at a cricket festival. I managed to sneak out and bought this lovely Pucci skirt from a second hand shop call 'The Birdcage'
The weekend in Taunton was lovely and it is true about West Country people being kind and gentle, I haven't felt as 'looked after' for years.
J K Rowling must have visited Taunton for the inspiration for Diagon Alley, there is a secret little hidden away row of shops called Bath Place. It is almost hidden from view from the main high street...
The sign welcomes you to a shopping curiosity....
A little further down I spotted this beautiful mini Georgian house, a little proud, but not large enough to be arrogantly grand....
This is the view over the shops from the balcony (the shop on the right is The Birdcage)...
I couldn't imagine a more idyllic life for a single lady of a certain age than to run a little interior design or home made cake shop and live in this house with a couple of whippets. If the dream appeals to anyone else the house is for sale here.
I adore Pucci and would love to own a couple of pieces. How gorgeous is the little Georgian house x
ReplyDeleteI could see a whole parallel life there if things had played out differently. I count myself as lucky with the life that I have, but also try to see other possibilities as who knows what fate has in store?
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned the Bible quote yesterday and I thought about my treasure and of course it is family and home and I think that is what I write about mainly.....I think. ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy your posts about exercise, food and helping people lose their weight and get fit? Do you still do that?
That house is beautiful but a little grand for me. My Mother would love it but I like my cute shabby chic cottage. The skirt looks lovely on you but what is with the trainers? :)
Tee hee not a trainer girl. The quote was basically says that however much you protest, where you spend your most money is where your heart REALLY is, so kids and mortgage aside, I don't want number 3 to be my wardroble! I sold my last car for £400 and used to drive around thinking I could buy two of my lovely reliable little runaround for the same (original) price as the Joseph coat I was wearing, which IS completely bonkers.
DeleteThinking about it though, I guess number 3 is food, I spend more on my chicken than I do on my clothes!
I do one stretch class in the local town hall, but now I work in London for half the week so have had to cut back on the personal training and other classes. I really miss it though, exercise people are much nicer than fashion people (shh don't tell anyone!)
Watch this space though I have invested in a month at a super chichi West London gym and so will be putting it under the microscope, and will be there every minute to get my money's worth!
I do wear trainers in the gym but not with my normal clothes. Am I missing out on something (haha). Well I would have to say that food is my treasure then too. I strongly believe that food is our medicine, in that every thing we eat is creating every new cell. Looking forward to your gym report. :)
DeleteLoving the skirt and I like the mix of trainers!
ReplyDeleteI might come round if they were comfortable, but I bought them online and they are a size too small even with the inner sole removed, so not a convert yet!
DeletePretty skirt. What a charming village. If I could swap the whippets for a french bulldog and two kids, I'd move there in an instant!
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt ... I'm not really a trainers kinda' gal though! And oh, that 'proud' Georgian house looks so lovely ...
ReplyDeleteI luff Pucci with every cell of my being, in fact as I type I'm in a Pucci top sourced on the cheap form Hong Kong 7 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't care less about cars either, mine must be worth maybe $2000 and in this country you cannot buy a decent chicken for under about $20. Scary, but true.
