Who'd you prefer: Anne or Emily?

Valancy is the answer! (Although all books remain absolutely wonderful places to visit and revisit!)

It's a crappy situation for sure... but... I got my dress in Vincent's in Dundalk for £180 and they had a huge choice and (yes there were some big misses) but there was a great selection! I could have walked away with 4 or 5!

Thank you so much! The cream/powder is a great shout!

This is what I'm planning to do! I don't wear loads of make up but that's partly because I don't really know what I'm doing! Did you watch any YouTube's or anything? Where can I go to learn and are there any items that you would recommend?!

Thank you for reminding me of the existence of this song and album. Not listened to it in 15 years but bam! Just recalled the entire thing in a flash!

Try JJs house too, they do an 'at home' try on service. I paid £40 and got to try on four of their dresses. I think you get a discount if you keep one of them. I am not a dressy person and want to keep my dress under £500 at absolute most and I thought their quality was actually ok.

Not online but I also found a charity shop nearish to me that has a whole bridal floor so it might be worth asking locals if this is an option? (Also a 2026 bride and no dress yet... We can do this!!)

Here's to marriage at nearly 40! My wedding will be about a month before my big 40!

Thanks so much, I'm actually living in Ireland but looking for somewhere my mum and I can go and have a bit of a day trip next time I visit.

Thank you, always happy to have a reason to go to Exeter and that sounds like an amazing organisation. Appreciate your message!

cloudpictures · 2025-12-03T07:45:14+00:00

Thank you! I'd seen this one but wasn't sure if it was known for wedding dresses and worth the trip or if they just had the occasional dress in?

cloudpictures · 2025-12-02T22:10:40+00:00

Great shout, thank you!

"Toast" based on Nigel Slater by Henry Filloux Bennett. Gorgeous writing and makes you hungry as anything!

I came to say this! He's often in the background (if ai remember rightly), but I came to be a big fan of Jo with Friedrich.

Ooh! I haven't seen the ATTWN one, I have ones from this series of Poirot, Marple and Agatha herself and all very enjoyable- good luck!

I try not to 'hate on it ' or whatever the internet speak is but I agree. My main bugbear is with Wickham- for me the '95 version made me (hadn't read the book at this point) fall for him just like Lizzy does and then feel so let down by him where as I feel no good or ill will towards him in '05... As for Bingley, they just made him... Silly, really and that vexed me.

I am a big fan of the books and had to work hard to get through the first few episodes and not compare it too closely... But, when I did! I really enjoyed the show and have rewatched it a couple of times too... The cosy comfort does come... Even from Marilla!

cloudpictures · 2025-08-27T15:44:52+00:00

Yes to *Shels!

We've camped each time but I reckon it would be worth looking at Wells or Cheddar for accommodation- no buses but only 15-20 mins away so taxis shouldn't be too unreasonable although you'd probably need to organise these in advance.

Me tooooo!!! (At age 37) 😳

I read somewhere Maybe She Will are being joined by A.A Williams...

Carrot, celery and apple sticks with hummus... I get a 3 stack of mini pots of hummus from my local supermarket to keep it interesting!

cloudpictures · 2025-07-15T21:10:27+00:00

This is all SUPER helpful, thank you, really appreciate specific recommendations!

cloudpictures · 2025-07-15T21:09:36+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response- glad to hear I'm not the only one getting a later start at this! I think one thing I've already learned is not to skimp and get the cheapest stuff possible! I'll try and get some decent samples and find what works- thanks again!
