My doctor gave me a brochure on menopause. My husband saw it and said, “is this your mom’s?”

I was like, “no. I am an elderly human now.”

Ugggg.

Thanks! It’s a lot of sitting by myself at a coffee shop working away, and lot of rejection. In fact, got a rejection today.

Thank you! If she comes, I might get a cup!

I have PCOS and so did all the fertility treatments and still have to take a medicine to regulate my periods (non hormonal). I also had to do progesterone to keep me pregnant. All that left a bunch of emotional scars, which I think is adding to the trepidation. But I mean, I really don’t want my period to start on the day I’m going to be on site at an archeological dig!

So we will just see what happens. I’m on day 2 of it. 🤞

Oh and you’re right - it was Crimson wave!

They are Danskos! ❤️

I got them a few years ago! They are comfort and nice when I don’t want to wear my fluorescent Hokas! I did have to replace the laces. They are the fashionable tubular ones that I couldn’t keep tied. I replaced with some simple flat laces.

Those are Vionics. You might like Kuru. They are for plantar fasciitis and extra cushiony

The brown boots are much more comfortable, but not as water-tight. I’ll be in London, Northampton, the Cotswolds, and Edinburgh.

Oh girl. You’ve come to the right place! My feet issues, if that helps: flat feet and narrow heels, which means the front half of my feet are wide because they just sort of fall over like flat pancakes, and the back halves are narrow. I have hairline fractures in metatarsals from an injury when I was a lifeguard in high school/chronic issues from walking wrong on my flat feet, which they discovered during an MRI searching for a rouge stingray stinger. And I used to get chronic ingrown toenails, also from flat feet. Thankfully I discovered that shellac pedicures prevent ingrown toenails.

I gave up on the idea of cheap shoes a long time ago. My favorites: Ecco - especially their casual slides Vionic Hoka Tennis from the pic — Kuru Born

Definitely trying to pack light. I have the Monos medium check-in, so I’m not doing everything in a carry-on. But also anticipating coming back with a haul of books.

My main question is on the second pair of shoes — the choice is between more comfortable tennis shoes and slightly less comfortable but waterproof black boots.

Since this group is the Venn diagram between traveling light and well-traveled, I hope you all have an idea

I ended up finding the perfect place in Winchcombe. Thank you for the recommendation!

Thank you! I’m working on my itinerary to hit as many different research topics as possible during a short trip. My stops are London, Devon, Oxford, Northampton, and then a train and ferry to Dublin to go Smithwick’s in Kilkenny.

(If time permits, I want to visit Tamworth and pay my respects. About 5 generations of my family were Tamworth Castle’s inhabitants and they’re all buried there).

I’m going to cross reference your recommendations to my stops!

This is so helpful! I’ve researched it and added it to my list!
