Getting to that daunting time again!

This morning Tina was making last minute calls and making sure she had left everything as in order as she could. It has been a stressful couple of weeks for her trying to make sure everything is in order. Once she had turned the computer off and Rosie hd the phone and everything else she needed I made a decent brunch before she set off on her long journey. She was detouring a bit to pick someone else up on the way. Pandora and sensed something was up but once we were on our own she settled down next to me and was blissfully sleeping.

Now to the heading, I thought I would gather ingredients for the Christmas cakes together, although obviously I still have marzipan and icing to get in a few months! I don’t think I forgot anything!

The oranges and lemons were from Rafters nd I ordered one of their £10 taster veggie boxes. Very good value but way too much for me at the moment.

I took some of it round to Jonathan who runs the cafe in the parish hall and he was happy that he could make use of it. While I was there I went and took a picture of the fountain that Tina got for the parish garden yesterday. It is of St. Francis so quite appropriate for a church garden.

Tina arrived safely but later than expected as the traffic was bad. Looks like a lovely room to spend a retreat in and a pretty good view too.

I have done a bit of the jigsaw and I did go and do a bit of hoeing in the garden but not too much! 

I did pick these while I was out there.

I will probably go out with Darren tomorrow to Lincoln as he has his regular Amiga meeting and the hall is in quite a nice village.

Need to relax a bit over the weekend in readiness for the came making marathon starting on Monday,
