2 school, 4 fundraising events organised - done! Now time to plan and prepare for our family's Christmas.

Visiting a gorgeous winter wonderland at the weekend and seeing Father Christmas, albeit a little early, has definitely got me in the mood for Christmas!

One of my daughters friends was upset at school yesterday, so this morning in the mad panic to get ready for school she wanted to make her a card "to be a good friend" - I couldn't say no and we made time!

The girls boots are out, must be that time of year again - wrap up! Have a good weekend.

Trust my Mum to take a simple rose and ornamental cabbage and create a beautiful arrangement!

The hedgerows are full of berries, the sign of a harsh winter to come? I hope not; cold weather really  isn't my favourite...

At this time of year I have a fondness for ornamental cabbages in the garden, don't ask me why but I think they're just beautiful!
