Everyone deserves a partner who offers to buy them a book !!!! Your husband did a great job filming video clips, it's usually hard for me to watch people walking around but the camera was so steady ! Thank you for sharing the bookshop tours, I love seeing other bookshops

Wow so many lovely bookshops! I've ordered books online from Blackwells but had no idea it was so big!
Totally appreciate the annoyance of the wet book, I guess it will remind you of your time in the botanical Gardens at Oxford though 🌧️

3.5km of bookshelves!! That’s insane. Makes me feel like I should expand mine 😂
I love that daemon statue so much!! I’m going to have to go and see it at some point 🤩
Such a pretty copy of Goodnight Mr Tom 😍
I did not know that CS Lewis was from Oxford! And I also haven’t read anything of his other than Narnia. Should probably read more from him at some point.
Lovely vlog matey 🧡

This was awesome!! We visited Oxford on our trip to England in 2009 but didn't visit any bookshops (Shocking, I know!!) It was fun to vicariously visit them through you! I loved the covered market - cool place! We did see some filming of Inspector Lewis when we were there which was cool.

I really wish we'd have a Waterstones in my country! I probably would spend hours there. XD You have so many book stores over there! =) I'm in awe! I probably would have had to suppress the urge to buy everything. *lol* Also kudos to your husband! He did a great job with the video footage.

I know I promised to take ‘Em to Oxford but looking at your vlog I fear this could be costly!! Beautiful but VERY costly!! Spotted the Dalek 😉 I still can’t believe how BIG that Blackwells is!!! Pleased you found a bargain on your trip too ❤️

I'm sad to hear Blackwells have been sold to Waterstones, I buy lots of online books from there, they are great, I hope they stay the same as they were. Not saying I dislike Waterstones as I don't, but I think it's good to have a choice.
