What else do you do when you feel like sofa rotting?  Go see the Christmas stuff of course. Went to Mainsgill Farm off the A66 and found a wonderland (kinda). Bought a few bits cos it’s the necessary unnecessary.

The clocks will be going back before we know it. 🍂 

Went to the deer park at Studley Royal (Ripon) at the weekend.  Rutting season’s coming so it sounds like Jurassic Park with the bellowing bucks and stags. 🦌 It was a really nice Autumnal day scented with sweet chestnuts and turning leaves; sunny with a cosy cardi on. ☺️

The past few weeks Sean’s car’s been off the r The past few weeks Sean’s car’s been off the road and I’ve been the main driver of the household. It’s been a game changer for getting me up to speed. It’s pushed me to drive, for one 😂. Do the school runs both ways. Shopping. I’m actually enjoying driving again, even though I keep making mistakes. Stalling trying to leave my drive 😂 Parking badly. LOL. It’s been wiping me out too. Crazy how mentally exhausting driving is plus I’m working with the challenges of fibromyalgia and hypermobility pain too. I love my little Suzuki Swift but I’ve started looking at getting a newer version, considering whether an automatic may be the way forward with managing my health conditions. The amount of times my poor knee clicks with the clutch. 😭

Thoughts on an automatic then, folks? 

Oh and enjoy this pic - taken the other day when I’d left the house and was about to get in my car still holding my cup of tea. What a plonker. 😂

Beautiful wedding at the weekend celebrating the m Beautiful wedding at the weekend celebrating the marriage of my sister-in-law Janet and Tony. 💒  As a florist she did her own flowers which were just stunning. 💐 The reception held at The Baltic on Gateshead quayside was filled with the gorgeous scent of the flowers. A really lovely gathering. Wish the whole family could’ve been there, Reuben would’ve looked so cute in a little suit again. It might’ve saved me from the fate of the wine! 🤪 🥂
