Day 315 - November 11th

Today Wayne and Christopher went to the Lancaster Insurance Classic Car Show at the NEC Birmingham.

I was rather surprised to see that a car I once owned, a Rover 400, is now classed as a classic car.

Day 314 - November 10th

Last year my cactus plant produced lots of buds which them fell off! I'm not sure whether it was due to temperate or over/under watering but hopefully this year the same thing won't happen and it will instead produce lots of flowers.

Day 313 - November 9th

It was so cold this evening that we decided to light the fire.

A lot of the marigolds have died but a few have survived the first frosts of the season.

We planted some winter pansies in our back garden a few weeks ago. They have been slow in growing but several are now flowering.

Day 304 - October 31st

Lara decided that she was too old for Trick or Treating this year and instead chose to stay at home and try out some special effects Halloween zombie make-up. 

She looked quite scary and we decided that she hadn't better go to the door to hand out sweets to our young trick or treat visitors for fear of scaring them!

Day 303 - October 30th

This afternoon Lara and I carved Halloween Pumpkins.

They looked quite effective when lit.
