- Hello! In today's cosy reading vlog, I'm sharing some fun spring outings: treating my mum for Mother's Day and book shopping at a vintage book fair. I also review some recent reads.

Sending special Happy Mother’s Day greetings to a Lovely Lady whose daughter is just as Beautiful 💐💐
Thank you. Love your energy and positivity. Happy Belated Mother's Day to your Mom. Cheers
Hi Miranda a belated happy mother's day to you and your lovely mum 🥰I came across your channel a few weeks ago and wow ! love it ! I've been watching some of your earlier content and a massive thank you for all of your amazing book recommendations. I especially love that I've found a like mined to soul to indulge in love of stationery and pottery especially Emma Bridgewater. For my birthday this year I've asked my family to take me to the Emma Bridgewater Factory shop , (Lichfield St, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent ST1 3EJ) have you and your mum been ?? looking forward to catching up on more of your content. Diane 🙂
Love the content of your channel. I’ve binged watched over the past few months and purchased many new books. Recently finished Thunderclap and Dinner with Edward and thoroughly enjoyed both books. Just started reading Reunion and The Nonesuch. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your video casts.
Happy Mpther Day's greetings!
Your dresses are always gorgeous, I would wear any single one of them.
"I am going to make everything around me beautiful - that will be my life." -Elsie de Wolfe. I try to live by this quote but sometimes I miss lol. This quote reminds me of you, Donna and your channel!
Loved the Mother's day gifts and the luncheon you shared with your Mum. On your recommendation, I purchased 'I capture the Castle' for my grandaughter on her 24th birthday to read on her first solo holiday. I hope she will appreciate the joy of travel and reading. I had to include the gift of a dressing gown embroidered with her initials, too.
That sounds so sweet and lovely, I am sure she will love it 🥹
Have a great Mother’s Day Donna…you have a wonderful daughter.
Dear Miranda and Donna, what a wonderful treat this Mother's Day Outing was. You looked so beautiful in your lovely clothes. The dishes and the food seemed to be so special. I always love to watch you two eating and chatting. You have such a very special mother-daughter bond. I am so happy that you had such a wonderful time at the bookfair and found so many lovely books. It is such a treat to see the spring in all it's flowery glory in your house... so many stunningly filled vases. I wish you both a lovely week💗💗
Thank you so much, Inga! It was such a wonderful day, and I’m thrilled to have spring flowers in the house again - my favourites!! Thank you as always for your exceedingly kind support, too. I so appreciate it ❤️
You know how 2000s Movies would have fun montages about people out on the town? This feels like that except for funner.
Your mum is precious! Happy Mother’s Day!
Rural Hours sounds very interesting, as do the other books as well. You ladies so look lovely! I love your mom’s earrings and pearls! I wish I could do something like this for my mother, who turns 85 this week, but she’s too far away and she’s tricky to please. Even though she’s an avid reader, she doesn’t want to own books - hates clutter, only uses the library. (Although, she just got a Kindle, so perhaps a Kindle gift card.😮) Your mom is always so gracious about all you do for her.
Your mother is just darling!
Such a lovely Mother's day treat. You both look beautiful and charming.
Thanks for a lovely video. I always look forward to Sunday knowing there will be twenty or thirty minutes of living in the realm of good reads. So charming! What a caring mother and daughter the two of you are together. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Such a unique place for lunch.
Happy Mothers Day! Donna
So delighted to find your channel, Miranda! When you highlighted 'Thimble Summer' I remembered it but wasn't sure I still had that copy... and I do. I am currently going through my large collection of books from my childhood and thorough enjoying revisiting my favourites! You mention so many titles I had not heard of and will investigate further. Thank you!
Your videos are always such a treat! ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Yes, Happy Mother's Day to your lovely mum.
What a lovely episode, enjoyed your visit to the Star Inn especially, what a beautiful restaurant and the food looked amazing. Harrogate Book Fair sounds fabulous, and what finds you bought. Having difficulty resisting my local secondhand bookshop, it has some real treasures too. Hope you feel better soon. PS both you and your Mum's outfits are beautiful 😍
I can’t wait to get a copy of Twelve Words for Moss! I had never heard of this book and love moss! 🌱
Oh cant wait to watch this! My husband and son just headed out the door for a bit so I'm getting my cozy drink ready and settling down for some relaxing time!!!
I told my husband, “It’s my quiet time, now” so I could watch Miranda’s video without disruption. He managed to be quiet for about five minutes.😆
It’s so lovely to see the pleasure you and your mum have in each other’s company. What a lovely Mother’s Day treat, and you and Donna looked beautiful in your outfits. I love Seasalt clothes, I’m nearly always wearing one of their dresses. I got lots of ideas from your book talk, as always. So excited to hear about the Georgette Heyer book - I am a huge fan but have missed hearing about this book! One of my favourite books since the age of about twelve is “The One I Knew The Best Of All” by Frances Hodgson Burnett, I don’t know if you’ve come across it? It’s autobiographical. I discovered it by chance at the library as a young girl, looking for more by the author of my beloved Secret Garden and A Little Princess.
Thanks! What a lovely Mother’s Day for your lovely mother! What an enjoyable vlog for all of your viewers!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Carol! Thanks so much for all your much appreciated and generous support! ❤️📚💐🙏
I wanted to double my occasional super thanks as I felt this video was extra special because I love celebrating your content and also celebrating your very special mum ❤ What an absolutely lovely dinner you treated her to. I love the finds you purchased at the book fair.
Thank you so much, Shelli! That’s so kind of you! Your generous support and lovely comments mean so much to me. I’m delighted you enjoyed this video so much ❤️📚💐🙏
Love your adventures with your mother! Great video! Happy Mother’s Day to Donna!
Hello Miranda, Belated Mother’s Day greetings to Donna - you look fabulous in that gorgeous blouse. I remember visiting The Star Inn years ago and the food was delicious. Your vlog is the highlight of my weekend. Have a lovely week.
So lovely. Thank you. Book fairs are my favorite and we live near a Tulip Festival that takes place in Pella, Iowa. I am intrigued with that book.
There is nothing nicer than finding a book you always wanted at a book fair at a good price, such a great feeling & worth waiting for. My town has a big charity book fest
every year & I am looking forward to the next one in May & hoping to find a lot of treasures.
I just found your channel recently and I am very much enjoying your book recommendations! I absolutely love seeing your wall of vintage books on the shelves! I also love seeing all of your home decor. I live in Nebraska in the U.S. and a trip to the U.K. is on my "bucket list."
I am also rereading the Anne of Green Gables books. I had read them about 35 years ago when I was in high school (when the wonderful Kevin Sullivan mini-series came out!). I still have my copies from then so they are being enjoyed again! It just amazes me how I don't remember the storylines, except those that were used in the television adaptation. It's like reading a brand-new book! I only had and read the first 6 books in the series, so I would like to read Rainbow Valley, Rilla of Ingleside, and Lucy Maud Montgomery's other works as well.
Thank you so much for your channel. I look forward to watching all of your previous videos and waiting for new ones to come out!
Have A Great Mother’s Day Donna and Miranda. Looks like you two really enjoyed yourselves. Miranda - you got some really great books.
Take Care & Happy Reading
❤️🤗🔰📖📚📕☕️❤️
A lovely video, Miranda. Thank you 🤗❤
The tulip what an amazing find - your so lucky 🌷
Tell your mum that M&S have some fab wide trousers in many lengths! I picked up some AND the cotton jersey culottes, which are gorgeous! Lovely vlog, thanks again 🌷
I so admire the relationship of mother and daughter you both have. Donna Happy Mother's Day to a most wonderful mother to a lovely daughter. You have my blessings always.
Miranda this was a super good video! Donna your pink top is gorgeous and I love those sleeves. I'm definitely buying Rural Hours it sounds right up my street. I love your editions of the Anne books, I'm a few missing, so I'll be looking out for that version. The Tulip is a brilliant book, totally fascinating. And finally a moment of nostalgia with your Alison Uttley find. We had this version of the books as children including that one. Have a super week.
Wide leg pants still fashionable 🙂 Such a nice video. Thanks.
How wonderful to share the day with your mum in a special place. A lovely video. Thank you!
Beautiful video as always with your travels and it was so pleasing to see you both out enjoying each others company and as usual you both look wonderful 😊
I loved Donna’s new outfit! I’m happy you two had such a lovely time to celebrate Donna 🥰
I haven’t read Beyond the Secret Garden but have it in my TBR stack. I am currently finishing an Agatha Christy/Mary Westmacott, Absent in the Spring. Also, started Return to the Secret Garden and hoping I will enjoy it. Still working through Carol Ryrie Brink list as well. Oh for more time 😂
Just came across your channel and I’ve watched two while crocheting 🧶! I think my evening is all set now, a little bit of binge watching Miranda. Your home and overall style is just so cosy, love learning about your books too and Mum is a darling. So pleased I found you x
Happy Mother’s Day Donna.. Thank you for taking us along and sharing your celebration with us dear friends
i really enjoy these type of videos; so lovely to see you and your mum together and also going on some lovely outings. And on the other hand; excellent bookish chats; have got a lot of news recommodations for my TBR
It looks like you two ladies had a wonderful time. I'm glad.
Yous two are just amazing! I love your relationship with your mum! ❤❤ Keep making videos as I enjoy them so much!!
Several years ago I received The Tulip for my birthday! Such a definitive study of my favorite flower 🌷
With belated happy Mother's Day wishes! So wonderful to see your lovely celebration! 💐
Thank you so much for your generous support! I so appreciate your kindness and am delighted you enjoyed coming along for the Mother’s Day celebration 💚📚💐🙏🌷
Hope you had a lovely Mother’s Day in the U.K. You have a wonderful relationship with your mum..and a beautiful day out! I live in the USA now and miss my mum whose in the U.K. and do not get to see her and rest of the family there much. My US family and I will be visiting the U.K. Easter week. Do you have any ideas on visiting lovely bookstores in and around London/Cotswolds/Buckinghamshire and Oxford, my daughter enjoys visiting bookstores but not too many here in northern New Jersey US except the chain Barnes and Nobles which we love!
Thank you for your beautiful vlogs.
I've given lots of bookshop recommendations in my free Bookshop Guide (mirandasnotebook.com/best-bookshops-of-britain-guide-free-gift) and in my TH-cam videos, so I suggest having a browse! Enjoy your trip. xxx
Definitely enjoyed this video...O those books..!!!
Happy Mother's Day to Donna,💐💐💐 a wonderful mum with a wonderful daughter. Cheers...
A belated but well wished Happy Mother's Day Donna! I didn't know Mother's Day was in March in England, until poor Princess Katherine posted her photo. What a ridiculous issue. You looked very pretty Donna and so did you Miranda. You are both lovely ladies and I "envy" your close relationship. Friends as well as MotherDaughter!🤗 I am finishing up The Secret Garden for the Comfort Book Club, only about 40 pgs. left.I did buy (from Blackwells🙂) Frances Burnett Hodgson's biography. I had forgotten much of The Secret Garden and have enjoyed it SO MUCH! Think I mixed some up w/ The Little Princess. Then onto ANNE! This was very enjoyable to watch, you always are. Thank you🤗
I so enjoyed the footage of your new books, the spring flower bouquets in your home, your outfits and the lovely lunch out for Mother’s Day (including the cameo by the large hare decoration in the garden 🐰). Glad you are feeling better and could enjoy looking for treasure at the book sale as well. The illustrations in the tulip book are beautiful.
Thank you so much, Debbie! xxx
Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous, happy video. Loved everything, but especially you and Donna having some Mothers Day fun together :)
Lovely vlog. I love North Yorkshire and my dream would be to live there one day. I visited The Star at Harold many moons ago, it was lovely. In fact I still have a glass water bottle from our meal. I shall look out for some Grey Rabbit books for my new granddaughter Beatrix Elizabeth as they look very sweet. Best wishes to you & your mum, Karen 🌺
Thank you for such a lovely video. Your lunch looked marvellous. Congrats on the great finds at the book fair. Xx
Lovely video as usual. So cozy and bookish ❤ I wish I could buy Persephone books', Girls Gone By books' and Virago's books easily in my home country. Since I can't I'm usually delighted with your lovely editions. Thank you ! ❤
Thank you so much for your fabulous support, which is much appreciated! Have a lovely week ❤️
Hi Miranda, speaking of Shirley Hughes illustrations, do you know the children’s book ‘Satchkin Patchkin’ by Helen Morgan which she illustrated (first published 1966)? It’s a really charming little book, I think you would like it. 😊
You both look lovely.Just ordered Before Me from Blackwells.Happy Mother’s Day Donna.
A belated Happy Mother's Day to Donna! I enjoy feeling like I know both of you through these videos.
Thank you for all the lovely recommendations. Happy Mother’s Day!
Those pink and white flowers in your bedroom are gorgeous! What kind of flowers are they?
Your videos are wonderful to watch- thank you for the time and effort you take to create them.
They're tulips! xxx
It is very strange how mixed my feelings can be watching your video’s. That beautiful unique band between the both of you. So deeply connected . I feel privileged to get the opportunity to witness such love. And at the same time I often feel some kind of fear and sadness for the unavoidable time when one of you has to live with the loss of the other one. Maybe it is because right now it is a theme in my own life
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time.
Happy Mother's Day Donna.
Special greetings to your lovely mother. 😊❤
Wonderful video as always Miranda. You and Donna look lovely. I read the White Gate many years ago and loved it! Very cozy book ❤️
Thank you, Karen! Great to hear you enjoyed it. Xxx
A beautiful video, thank you Miranda!🇨🇦🥰
Happy Mother’s Day, Donna.
Happy Mother’s Day, Donna! 💐 What a lovely, cozy place for a special lunch!
Thank you Miranda. Your outfits are lovely.😊❤
So many wonderful things in this video🥰 Happy Mother’s Day, Donna and thank you for sharing your day and your lovely daughter with us💕
Happy Mother’s Day! Donna looked absolutely amazing and the pub looked so beautiful with convivial atmosphere. Lovely recommendation on nature books which is much appreciated xxx God bless❤🧡🩷
I’m so glad you enjoyed the book recommendations. Thank you so much for your very kind support ❤️
Belated Happy Mother's Day, Donna! I so enjoyed seeing the both of you dressed up and having a special lunch. And of course I loved the book chat! I have put The Novels of Georgette Heyer and Beyond the Secret Garden on my TBR. I love books about authors.
Thank you so much! It was a lovely day, and I agree both those books look so good!
The restaurant you went to looks like the restaurant in the Saint movie with Val Kilmer and Elizabeth Shue? Cool! Love your fun videos! Ps. Have you ever read An Australian story by Catherine Martin! It’s one for the list!
Your mother looks devine last Sunday! Ours in US always mid-May . The jacket perfect with Adina (sp? ) Blouse.
O thank you so much dear Miranda! I instantly Requested now and will receive soon The Little White Horse at nearby Main Library, S.F.
Much envy about the Harrogate Book Fair! I am also based in Yorkshire and would have loved to have gone. Are there social media pages for it please?
love your hair🎀🌿🌷
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your kind support! I so much appreciate it ❤️📚💐
Miranda that was such a wonderful vlog! Thank you! I am very interested in reading 'The White Gate' after hearing that its set in Maine and that it is illustrated by Shirley Hughes! Your video also reminded me that I wanted to find a Mary Stewart that is set in Italy. Any that come to mind? Btw I did end up getting A Chelsea Concerto that you recommended but I have not read it yet - looking forward to it. Nice finds! I also love your and your Mom's outfits. So beautiful! And the restaurant looks so cozy! Love to Donna!🌷
So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Such a lovely vlog ❤
Miranda, have you read Jennifer Kloester's biography of Georgette Heyer? She is a true expert on her life, and its quite a good read.
Belated Happy Mother’s Day to Donna and thank you Miranda for the book recommendations. The Book of Wildflowers is definitely on my list ❤
It’s such a beautiful book!
Thanks!☺

I ❤ your vlogs!!! This is a bit off-topic, but last autumn you recommended two favorite fall fragrances. Do you have suggestions for spring or summer ?
Yes, I've recommended a few in my new video: th-cam.com/video/2O6qPni6XTU/w-d-xo.html
