I've started adding a few Christmas treats to my weekly supermarket shop. Its fun to try and find some 'interesting' things. Today - 'Pigs in Blankets' and 'Turkey & Stuffing' flavoured savoury biscuits.
Day 321 - November 16th
Yet another flower still blooming in Mum & Dad's garden. Don't these flowers know its Autumn?
Day 320 - November 15th
This afternoon saw me at the dentist for my six-monthly check up. Thankfully I was given the all clear.
Day 319 - November 14th
The moon tonight was the biggest, brightest and closest Supermoon of the year. It was the closest Supermoon since 1948. Unfortunately, tonight was also rather cloudy and so views of the moon were few and far between.
Day 318 - November 13th
Today we joined the rest of the village at the Annual Remembrance Sunday Service at one of the village churches, followed by the Act of Remembrance at the war memorial. This was the first time in many years that one of the children hasn't paraded with either the cubs, scouts, brownies or guides.
Day 317 - November 12th
Last weekend Wayne and Christopher drove to Wales to look at a car that Christopher was interested in buying. Today it was delivered. A shiny, white 1972 Triumph Spitfire. Its proud new owner was happy to take us out for a spin in it even if it was rather chilly to have the roof down!
Day 316 - November 11th
Christmas foods have been in the shops for some time but i have resisted the temptation to buy any - until today. A box of mince pies managed to find its way into the house and the box didn't stay closed for long!
Day 315 - November 10th
Its been a long time since I found any 'Faces in Places'. I was a big fan of the 'Faces in Places' blog which was a photographic collection of faces found in everyday places, but sadly it doesn't seem to have been updated for quite some time.
Today I spotted a face in our bathroom - the jets on the shower and logo appear as quite a sad looking little face.
Day 314 - November 9th
Yesterday Americans cast their votes in the US Presidential Election. This morning we woke to the surprising news that they have chosen Donald Trump as their next president.
Day 312 - November 7th
After spotting the clematis yesterday, this afternoon I noticed that the Marguerite plant that I posted about here in July is also still blooming.
Day 310 - November 5th
This evening we went to the Village Firework Display. It was a very good display and on returning home we opened some packets of sparklers and wrote our names with the sparks.
Day 309 - November 4th
The leaves on the trees are so colourful at the moment. Bright reds and oranges and more subtle shades of yellow, brown and green like this leaf on the sycamore tree.
Day 308 - November 3rd
Today Christopher drove to Havant in Hampshire for work and tomorrow he has to drive to Cambridge. He was provided with a loan car for the two days and when he arrived home it we were quite surprised to find that it was a Jaguar XE Sports Saloon Car.
Day 307 - November 2nd
Today we saw the first hard frost of the season. The frost looked so pretty on the leaves but wasn't so pretty on the windscreens of the cars that needed to be scrapped before they could be driven.
Day 306 - November 1st
Naughty Millie isn't supposed to climb on the furniture but today, because she wasn't getting any attention, she jumped up on the footstool and sat there for all to see!
Day 305 - October 31st (Halloween)
Today was Halloween. Lara decided not to go our trick or treating this year but was keen to carve a pumpkin to put outside the house to let the other children know that they were welcome to call at our door. The pumpkin was carefully bought home from Lincolnshire and as the weather was quite warm today and school was closed for an inset day, Lara sat outside on the patio to create her Jack O Lantern.
With a tea light inside it looked lovely outside the door.
Day 304 - October 30th
The tubs we set the other week are looking lovely The pansies in particular are beautiful.
Day 303 - October 29th
Lara joined us today on our walk. Millie was pleased to get back into her usual routine after our week away.
