Our clocks went back at the weekend and with it Winter arrived!  Even though it is still really Autumn there was a heavy frost the other morning and we were out scraping cars before going off to work and college!!

Saturday is Bonfire Night and at the moment it is looking dry and cold.  This picture was taken eleven years ago on Bonfire Night with the Boys being 11 and seven!!!  It is one of their favourite evenings of the year, along with Goose Fair!

Christmas is fast approaching and today I got my stash of cards, wrapping and all the other things out to see what I need to buy, if anything.  I try each year to get my cards when they are on sale and in the last few years have managed to get some really lovely cards for next to nothing!  Especially when the Boys were younger and sending a card to everyone in their classes!

I have got all the ingredients for the Christmas cakes and Puddings and will be getting them made at the weekend. 

Treacle loves this time of year, especially when I spend a lot of time in the kitchen.  She is always my helper keeping an eye out for anything which gets dropped on the floor. She is so worried that I might slip on it she cleans it up right away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I hasten to add I do try not to spill anything!

I’ll help Mom, just let me know when!

I hope you are having a thrilling Thursday!  Tomorrow is Friday and another weekend comes round, really need to get on with those To Do Lists!

Hugs, Susie x
