Hello November..

 Good morning everyone. How are you all on this foggy morning?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Isn't it lovely to have those mornings or am i the weird one, i am having a coffee looking out the dining room windows  watching the birds appear and then vanish into the dense clouds. 

Our trees are really losing leaves now and covering the grass in a yellow carpet. The Virginia Creeper has lost all of its beautiful burgundy leaves and now looks like a bunch of red sticks hanging on the fence, we do have some hanging on for dear life but a good gust and they too will be gone.

In other news our Concrete has set perfectly and will now help to supportt our shed.

We had a tiny bit left over so we made a marker for ourselves so in the future we will be remembered and also when we put it up.

We are by no means experts in this area but i feel proud of us for just getting it done and it turned out ok.

Pop over to my hubby's blog for more on this.

The start of November is here and the countdowns begin.

I have several countdowns on the go, the first is obvious and thats the new shed. I can't believe it is actually arriving next week when we ordered it so long ago  on the 8th of September, i know its only 2 months but boy it feels like a life time ago now. 

Secondly i have 2 birthdays this month one is a major milestone and i am looking forward to celebrating that with Fern,then it is hubby's birthday 2 days later, it is all round a birthday week .

Thirdly the Contractors, which i am really not holding my breath for to come and put up my coving then i can get on with inside plans when the weather is too bad out.

Fourthly the big one Christmas which is the biggest one for me to plan and execute without spending too much or going over the top with food and baubles and anything decoration wise, i will say this i do need new tinsel, mine is so thread bare it is just coloured string at the moment a majority of it is actually older than our first born. I will be buying more and hoping that it lasts until we are long gone.

I hope that you all have a wonderful first day of November.

Love Ftm🍁
