Frost !

This was the morning we left
I think that we got out just in time !

Very pleased with my new table mats

Before leaving UK I treated myself
I think the ones that we were using belonged to Ann's Grandmother
(Always known in the family as Granny Fanny!)
I bought some for Greece as well, but too heavy to pack.

24th November

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born on this day 1864

He painted "Woman before a mirror" in 1897

Described as a woman who frankly confronts her image

How many of us want to do that  ?

Well done Lewis !

P G Tips

I ordered tea bags in todays grocery delivery
And this little fellow arrived as well
Good old Ocado

Aga Sagas

So, these are a couple of books I read while I had stopped blogging

It was nice coming back to Joanna Trollope after all this time

Paul attacks the lawn

Almost a field really
Some artistic wavy lines there !

Wednesday 19th November

How pleased am I that I have been given a clean bill of health
My eye has healed well and I have been discharged

Summer to Autumn

I took this pic of our English garden in July

Now in November the Autumn colours are coming in

Book Club

Many thanks Jane for lending me this great book
I have not been reading for a while so hope that this has got me back into it
Highly recommended 

What a lovely evening

Lachlan, Austin & Pluto cuddle up on the sofa

While Victoria and Paul make pom poms ?????

Back in Blighty

Not a bad flight with Easyjet ....
If you discount the one hour delayed departure
(The plane arrived half an hour late and we sat on board for half an hour waiting for one of the passengers to decide if they wanted to fly!)
And the half hour we waited in Manchester for the steps to arrive
And the 15 mins we had to wait on the tarmac as the two buses were full.

Austin's 8th Birthday

10th November at Frankie & Benny's

1st Rolleston Beaver Scouts

A proud moment as Austin carries the flag on Remembrance Sunday

Sorry to have been absent for a while ...
