On Saturday we are helping out some friends in our church with their fund raising morning. After the last batch of fudge which the children lovingly stirred and made, we were asked if we would make some more. When the children previously set up stall, the children raised £110 from selling the fudge alone and …
Not quite sure what is going on in our house this week, we seem to have caught a dragon. We live in a country where Hallowe’en isn’t really a big thing. It’s not that it’s not celebrated, it’s just it’s not big. We have never had anyone knocking on our door saying “trick or treat”. …
One week on from slowly recovering from my painful back and I am so much better. I can’t feel it all now and I’ve pretty much got myself back to normal. So now I’m contemplating the upcoming busy week, which is filled with fun things and more serious stuff. Today I visited a friend, I …

I did not even get a chance to update yesterday, actually, truthfully I did, but life got in the way and I forgot. Yesterday morning was the fundraiser stall. I have been loosely involved with this event in the past, the lady who heads it up has a knack of sucking you in and getting …

This was the busiest day ever! Maybe not quite but we bagged up loads of fudge for starters. 40 bags now are officially ready for our little stall on Saturday morning. I figured I wouldn’t get time to do them tomorrow so I thought I’d just get stuck in. I got Toni to help me …
