Sounds like a great holiday @Hostafan1 - the journey home is always a bit of a drag, but hope it goes smoothly.
Off for a girlie weekend in Malta next weekend, so hope the good weather holds just a little longer.
Off to plant my onions and garlic now a la Monty.
And then tomorrow we are making a day trip to Bath, just for the fun of it. Will keep an eye out for you @Lizzie27 👀
I could well have been your woman in the Butchers @Dovefromabove - only one time of year I need a 14lb Turkey and a whole Ham 😉. However, I know our butcher through other avenues, so hope he doesn’t have a moan about me as soon as I leave the shop 🤣
We have an excellent local butcher but always buy our Christmas turkey from the farm that rears them. They do a lot of game meat (and are often shortlisted for the British Gaming Awards) but we don't eat game. However, I do promote them locally and have included them in our forthcoming Food & Drink guide, so I'm not quite as bad as that customer you mentioned @Dovefromabove.
We took a trip to Southwold and then to Halesworth delivering leaflets for the forthcoming Food & Drink Street Market here. It was a lovely day for it and we bumped into an old friend in Halesworth, so it was good to catch up.
More leaflet delivering to do around the town today, so I'd better get a move on.
Evening all, probably morning by the time most see this, hectic day, juggling Charlie's washing, visitor's need for entertainment and a garden club meeting, plus a rendezvous for Apéros with much neglected friends.
Sadly, visiting friend has had to de-camp to a bungalow, my stairs have proved too tricky, I love her to bits but the stress of her falling, for both of us, was worrying. We're meeting for dinner tomorrow evening, and will probably have supper together at the mutual friend's bungalow on Monday, but in all honesty, having my house back to myself is welcome.
Charlie arrived back very proud (and relieved) to have got through a whole pile of assessments with full marks, 100% in history French, English and economics, 95% in maths.... big assessment on Monday for maths, all about algebra, studied most of the day, very keen to improve. We did manage to enjoy a takeaway pizza and a silly movie together but both of us back to the grindstone tomorrow.
He has his driving theory test on Wednesday, we'll meet up for that, then I'm off to Crete for 10 days. Bit of a "where did that time go...." moment today when his provisional driving licence turned up in the post.
Feeling much better for getting out and about and reading stuff on here. Missed SCD but hope to catch up in the week. Think I'll need that distraction to get me through the long winter evenings ahead, easy to be sucked up into the fairytale world.
Also managed to start the ball rolling as it were to get Christmas lunch organised with a fair few single friends, singletons, widowers and divorcees etc. We're planning on a very nice restaurant, locally, something to look forward to and take away the stress of being alone at Christmas.
Things are looking up, ever onwards!
Lovely to be back amongst your chatter, we're all just trying to get through our days aren't we.
