We were out walking early as the forecast was for rain. Autumn has arrived in the two weeks we have been away! I did notice that when it was starting to get dark at 6.30 last night! Ellie enjoyed seeing the horses again.

I went to Westwood. I only intended a small shop but made the mistake of going into Range and they have all their Christmas decorations in there! I didn’t even remember to take a shopping bag in there with me and of course you now have to pay for carrier bags. So, even delicate things I bought are no longer wrapped. It was a struggle holding on to everything I bought, I’ll have to go back another day soon.

In the evening we went for the monthly meeting of the Village Society. Plans were made for the Halloween party.  Mal and I are going to be the judges for the “Best Pumpkin” competition. The Village includes Elmstone along with Preston, so it looks as though we are going to have to make ourselves familiar with that village as well, before we go spying on peoples pumpkins! Next talk of the Christmas party……Mal is going to be Father Christmas. Next I was chatting to Gayna who is the clerk to the Parish Council and because of other commitments she is resigning from the job and suggested that I take the role on. With a bit of egging on from Mal, it looks as though I may be! I arrived home wondering how on earth that happened! Of course I have to be officially interviewed first.

Well done to Sol, who passed his driving theory test today.
