6: It was my mum's Heavenly 80th Birthday 🎈🎈
7: Since I had come back from the Half Term Holiday. I have had some bad car drivers. Including one who had a go at me for crossing an adult over instead of a child!
The low lying sun in the afternoon is not helping either! I have had a few near misses.
8: I got to see one my heros from the 60s in concert....
*Mike d'Abo from Manfred Mann*

Money well spent!

Chocolate cake and Cranberry shortbread.

We had a Christmas Craft Stall, hubby was enjoying himself!
The Christmas lights looked really good!
