I'm back from my short trip away (which I think I actually forgot to mention I was on?) so I will be back in the saddle with hopefully a few NSDs in a row tomorrow.

Welcome back @cathybird hope you had a lovely time! I am flying toDublin tonight and back on Monday, so today will not be a NSD for sure, tomorrow I'm at my friend's baby shower, so maybe, and Sunday we will be celebrating jointed birthdays so I doubt! I will report back once I'm safely back home on Monday evening! If we are planning days for November in the meantime I am aiming at 15 as I have another couple of weekends away planned, one day in London, and I'm sure end of year type of gatherings will start to pop up...
