Okay, spec from wifey is:
easy step through
basket on the front
idealy a 3 speed
comfy seat

ideally cope with some forest paths / tow paths, but not an MTB

found this on the bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Viking-Paris-Ladies-Comf...

this looks interesting but needs a basket http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HALCYON-SAMARA-17-LADIES...

Nice find but wifey doesn't do green Will have a looksee on evans page though
Pendleton is over the budget, £259 is absolute tops

Got my Mum a Dawes Red Feather for Crimbo, the rrp is over your budget by my LBS had one for £250.

Its surprisingly light given the equipment and has rear derailleur only gearing, my Mum had 3-speed before but managed to learn the derailleur system quickly.

FWIW- got a cheapo basket for Missus bike from ASDA! so don't worry if you buy one without, very cheap upgrade :-)
