November’s here and so is the fog!  You can have a nice sunny day and then this is the result here in Derbyshire!  Where we are is a valley and so the fog stays all day and you can drive two miles down the road and its bright sunshine!

We had a great week off but busy as always.  Darling DH’s Birthday was on October 29th but he was away in Wales on business so we celebrated on Friday.

I managed to get quickly decorated for Halloween on Saturday, and from 5.00pm it was non-stop opening the door to all the Trick or Treaters!  DH did all the opening as normally if Halloween is in the week he is not home.  A lot of the children know him from Carnival and he did manage to scare a few of the older ones!!!!!!

Yesterday and today I have been busy getting the Christmas Cakes made and the Christmas pudding mixture ready for steaming.  There is a fourth cake but that is already wrapped up and in a tin!!!  It has been really hectic.  Just now need to make 60 mince pies, 100 Christmas cookies and my special recipe Brandy truffles!!!!!  I will hopefully get some of these done next weekend. 

Treacle has not left my side over the two days I have been baking and I just now have to keep the Boys off the cakes and I will be okay!

Also the Christmas gifts I have bought on line are starting to arrive!  I need to get the Christmas wrapping paper out and start wrapping! 

To add to the “Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas”  Movies 24 became Christmas 24 on November 1st!  I will be nagged again by Youngest to get the Christmas music out!  I have contacted my good friend Jayne as we usually have a Girls day out to Nottingham for some Christmas Shopping, to arrange a date!!!! 

Hope your Monday is marvelous.
