I'm sorry to hear that you're full of cold now, I've still got a cough but they always take so long to go. There's more flowers blooming in the garden now, they're loving the sunshine, though they've had some rain today. The poppies have just flowered today so they're providing lots of colour. I've actually started my squares blanket again, I'll explain that in a future post. How lovely that your brother has a Cavalier, they're such sweet dogs. The rhododendrons should last for a while longer yet. I shall remember Sandringham if we return to Norfolk, it's somewhere I'd definitely like to visit again.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-31788781330122967312018-06-02T17:38:34.673+01:002018-06-02T17:38:34.673+01:00Bother .. was going to say was only looking at th...Bother .. was going to say was only looking at those exact sandals myself earlier this week and thinking of pressing the buy button ... maybe I will if they are that cmfortable.

Its nice to be able to wander the gift shop/estate farm shop and church and not have to pay to go into the house if you are ever close by.<br /><br />Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863899802782756191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-66803714096557313502018-06-02T16:48:34.791+01:002018-06-02T16:48:34.791+01:00I can't wear sandals with toe posts, they alwa...I can't wear sandals with toe posts, they always give me blisters right between my toes, ouch! I remember friends wearing that style of flip flops when I was a child and longing to be like them but they always caused me so much pain. I'm not a fan of heels so I always go for flat footwear or very low heels. I remember being nearly crippled when I was in my teens because I wanted to wear the latest fashion but I soon stopped that. Good for you getting two pairs of your favourite shoes, at least you know you've got a pair in reserve just in case they no longer make the same style when your current pair wears out.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-87635796395697707412018-06-02T14:28:46.891+01:002018-06-02T14:28:46.891+01:00Those sandals are so pretty!

I have to find myself a pair of sandals too - it's sometimes hard to find nice ones without too high a heal that don't have that middle bit that goes between the toes (and always gives me blisters). I actually didn't realize that this style had a name.<br /><br />And YES! I do purchase extras just in case. I'm a bit of a tomboy, so my favourite pair of shoes are Sketchers Oxfords. They are rather "manly" looking, even though they are women's shoes - they often get mistaken for my husband or sons shoes when they are by the front door :). But that's ok - I'm all about comfort and they are SO comfortable...and extremely long wearing. My current pair started to look rather worn in the past year...after at least 5 or 6 years, I think, of constant wear. I was so relieved to find that the same style was still sold, I did exactly what you did - purchased 2 pairs. I should be well in my 60's before the 2nd wears out - lol!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-25459661555579986632018-06-01T15:48:15.084+01:002018-06-01T15:48:15.084+01:00I don't have many pairs of shoes at all, and o...I don't have many pairs of shoes at all, and only a couple of pairs which get worn on any sort of regular basis.

How lovely that you're going to add to your charm bracelet.
