    Evening everyone :wave:
    These nights are getting colder! I've had my washing out most of the day which was a waste of time as it was still damp when I brought it in!

    Sylvia, well done on the win :j lovely little stocking fillers :) I've started getting toiletries for my 3 as they're all into makeup, sprays, spot removers etc. I love doing the beauty boxes for them.

    Well done to GS on his win Rose, great win :j

    Ooh I do love the Gruffalo leanfun, I've got the two DVDs ...well, for the kids anyway! :p We have a gruffalo hunt in one of our local woods.
    Girls are fine thanks, DD2 has some other stuff from drs for her stomach and sickness so it's ok so far.

    I expect there'll be lots of Xmas dailies coming up fire**fly :) I must start and do them again. Fingers crossed for a win for you :)

    It's very autumnal now isn't Alfie. There's leaves everywhere. We went to wildlife Forrest today with Jasper looking for conkers too. Jasper just thought it was great fun to roll around in the mud! I managed to get some conkers closer to home anyway, hopefully to get rid of spiders! :D

    Thanks for tip on mint teabags, I don't drink tea but DH does and he leaves a plastic tray full of teabags next to kettle! I go mad about it cos they stink but he says he likes to empty them all at once! (Strange man!)

    I also thought it was very 'convenient' for wheel to stop on fright night too Alfie in XFactor. I said to DD before it came on that I bet it stops there.

    I need to go and put some extra layers on, I'm too cold.
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Looking ok here, not supposed to be as sunny as it has been but fine.
    DD was up for a roast chicken dinner last night - she appreciates our cooking a lot more now she doesn't live at home! She is full of her course and really enjoying it although says there is lots and lots of written work involved and she does need to keep on top of it.
    We are heading off on Monday to stay at a Premier Inn right beside the next section of the Lancaster Canal we are due to walk so keeping fingers crossed it will be dry. (don't do walks in the rain!) then we go to Blackpool for 2 nights. Tempted to add Sunday to break as lots of offers on but resisting so far.
    Have a lucky day everyone.

    Good morning all, lovely and sunny but cold here. Agree with you all lots of golden leaves all over. Think its Lotties favorite time of year she loves to romp in the leaves LOL she had a lovely time in the local park yesterday.

    Agree with you Wingo not much point putting washing out now as you say its still wet when it comes in unless we get a really windy day.

    Thanks for the pics everyone, they are lovely.

    Have a lovely day and good luck.

    :wave: Good morning everyone!

    We had the most beautiful day here yesterday - bit of
    an Indian summer going on me thinks! And it was
    very warm. :D

    Foggy this morning but now that's lifted and it's
    turning out to be a bright and beautiful day. :T :dance:

    Agree with all though, the temp first thing in the morn
    and as the evenings draw in definitely drops a tad!
    Brrrrr!

    Good morning all, lovely and sunny but cold here. Agree with you all lots of golden leaves all over. Think its Lotties favorite time of year she loves to romp in the leaves LOL she had a lovely time in the local park yesterday.

    I love :heart: autumn too sylv. feuilles07.gif

    Had a wonderful walk yesterday thank you fire**fly :A
    and time permitting ..... I shall be going out again, maybe
    a different route this time. :D

    Lots of ponies, donkeys etc wandering about at this time
    of year - wonderful to see them all. :p

    The one thing that spoils it though is bloomin' car drivers
    who consider that they have the rights to the forest, not
    the beautiful creatures - and sadly there have been a
    few serious incidents of hit and run cases (at night)
    where the animals are left for dead. :eek:

    Sadly this was the case recently of a donkey foal and
    youngish horse (found in the morning by dog walkers) -
    both had passed away. _pale_ :cry:

    I really don't know how these 'people' sleep at
    night! :angry:

    Great your DD is enjoying her course sheils. I agree :p
    there's nothing more scrumptious than home-cooked
    meals. :drool:

    wingo - lol at Jasper rolling around in the mud .... typical
    doggie! Hope the conkers work their magic re your
    eight legged 'friends' lurking in the house! :eek:

    Time I wasn't here, got loads to catch up on. Have a
    lovely and lucky day all and take care. :)

    that's so sad re the donkey & pony Alfie :cry:
    the drivers must know & agree I don't know how
    they can sleep at night :sad:
    hope one day they can find a way to catch them.


    awww, lol @ lottie sylv :D
    I love watching the dogs & cats playing in the leaves,
    a great adventure for them & gives us much pleasure watching :dance:
    couldn't find a yorkie one but loved these,

    It is a shame about animals being hit but we live in an area where deer go onto the main roads and cause serious accidents. We have come close to hitting a deer ourselves and DD's bf ran one which had already been hit lying on the road which caused him quite a bit of money when he ran over it. Obviously different when cars are going through a forest.
    Loving everyones pics as usual. Must admit I have never seen animals playing in leaves.
