Happy Sunday! Welcome to the first of my London bookshop vlogs. Mum and I went to London to cat sit for my friend, and the city looked beautiful for the Coronation. Of course, I went to lots of the best London bookshops, as well as some other shops and a fabulous art exhibition.

    Today is Motherโ€™s Day in Canada. One of the reasons I visit your blog (aside from the amazing bookish content) is to bask in your warm and loving mother-daughter relationship with Donna. My mother died many years ago and I wish sheโ€™d lived long enough for us to have visited more places together and to have spent more quality time together. Seeing you and your Mum interact brings me comfort and joy.

    I look forward to your vlogs each week. Yours is one I watch without fail as I always find something of interest. The books your choose, the scenery, the art, stationary, tea. The relationship between you and your mum, the clothing you wear. I can see the effort you put into your channel and I just wanted to say that is a joy to watch and my book list often has a number of the books you have recommended on it.
  • I finally own these two amazing books Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre with the illustrations by Marjolein Bastin they are stunning. Thank you. I love your videos
  • @PokhrajRoy.
    London Bookshop Vlog? AAAAAAAAA Such fun! Sundays made better ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
  • The way you show us your purchases after shopping, reminds me of how my daughters and I would do that after coming back from shopping. I would put the kettle on to boil, we would get all our bags situated, get cozy and have our tea and show our purchases. A great memory. Thank you ๐Ÿค—
  • Oh, but I have loved this vlog, Miranda, as you visited all the places I would particularly wish to see myself. Iโ€™ll be re-watching it to my heartโ€™s content! May I also say how glowing your Mom was looking throughout? Am now looking forward to nextโ€™s weekโ€™s follow-on video. Thank you so much.
  • Thanks! I canโ€™t travel to England like I did when I was younger. The vlogs with you and your mom are such a treat!! So appreciated!!โค๏ธ
  • Miranda, it is always such an amazing time well spend watching you and your mother's journey. You give so much life to books. I can't imagine why a book publishing company doesn't snatch you up. Thank you so very much for filming, it is great to watch from the US. Can't wait to know about your new blog. Keep up the great work you do.
  • @trolareca
    I love your vlogs, Miranda! So beautiful and interesting. Your vision of the world is an absolute breath of fresh air nowadays. Thank you and greetings from Portugal
  • An unexpected lovely trip to London for the two of you - thank you for sharing your getaway with us!
  • @Shannon-xe9bm
    I loved living vicariously through you and your mom in London! Everything was amazing! A feast for the eyes!
  • Delightful vlog! I loved the jazzy swing (and the Satie) music you used too. Lovely. Now that our only source for books in English, Book Depository, has closed, all that is left for me is just to enjoy other people going to bookshops in the UK! Thank you for sharing your week with us. London, cats, books, aaah, I can't ask for more. Love to you and Donna :) xx
  • I enjoyed seeing all the different bookstores in Bloomsbury. I now realize I have more places to put on my list for a London visit. Thank you!
  • I watched the beautiful coronation from here in Alabama, USA๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ How amazing that we could view it at the time that it was occurring. I also enjoyed watching the coronation prom. Thank you for showing us the streets of London displaying their finest patriotic decorations. And bookshops! It doesnโ€™t get much better than that for a visit with you and your Mum. Thank you taking time from your cat sitting (how cute he is), to take us along on your visit to London.๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง. Best wishes to you and your Mum. God Save the King!!๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
  • @inlaterdays
    I loved seeing all the bookstores and then seeing what you bought! Stationery, books, all looks lovely. And the food looks delicious! Looking forward to next week's vlog.
  • Also Simba and Leo are absolutely adorable, what beautiful cats!
  • What a timely video Miranda as I am off to the ballet tomorrow. I have been wondering what I would like to do as I have some time to kill before afternoon tea at Ochre and you have given me quite a few ideas, thank you so much. It was fun to see you both enjoying your time in London. Simba and Leo are absolutely adorable - they must be such fun to sit for. Enjoy the rest of your stay, Teresa ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
  • Thank you very much for taking us along. London, books, impressionists and cats are some of my favourite topics. Say Hi to your lovely mum. And Happy Mother's Day!
  • Thank you Miranda for such a lovely video. I will probably never get the chance to visit England myself so to see your beautiful country through your eyes is such a joy to me!
