    I do remember mentioning a thermal imagining camera - but only that our local Transition group had one and you could ask them to come round with it. I never did ask, and it looks like everyone else knows more than me!

    GP - i thought of you this afternoon whilst chatting with a family member.  Their child is at nursery and next week the children have - day 1 Christmas pj day, day 2 Christmas sock day,  day 3 Christmas jumper day, day 4  Christmas hat/hair day and day 5 wear red and green.  My family member is a single parent who works part time and already pays astronomical nursery fees.  Apparently the nursery staff have to wear the same items.  This is apparently festive fun week!

    Thanks for all your help 😁  We'll have a go just now and report back 😁

    Tea is going to be veggie sausage hot dog and chips.  We have been out to support one of the local YFC's Festive tractor parade.  Marvellous - absolutely marvellous.  So glad we went.  Parking worked out OK, and we stood with everyone else, which made it all very jolly.  

    I am so glad.... Watty? mentioned the festive tractor runs, we're very lucky to have had several to choose from - but this was one that was 'close' to home, and a bit more special - not the YFC DH and I were once in, but... close enough 😉 IYKYK 😁

    Feeling very festive now 😁🎄
