October just flew by … it started off with Callum and Kian’s 5th Birthday Party at Kennet. Alas, Kian was poorly on the day so had to go home early. It was such a shame and a repeat of what happened on his birthday last year.
Everyone seemed to have a great time letting off steam on the bouncy castle and trampoline … just a shame Kian missed out.
At the end of the month, I was meant to be heading back to Cheshire for the “Inspired” Retreat. We had all enjoyed it so much back in February we decided to go back for Part 2. Unfortunately, things went completely pear-shaped. When the third payment was due, the organiser neglected to tell people that the event had been cancelled. We’d paid through a third party and PayPal so we were lucky in the fact we got our money back (however, the third party still has not been reimbursed and is substantially out of pocket). Those who had paid the organiser direct still have not been refunded.
With a weekend booked off, Lis set out to find another crop that same weekend and discovered Crab Apple Crafts were holding a retreat just down the road. Rosemary Merry is a regular on QVC Craft Days. Angela, Elizabeth, Lis and I decided to take the plunge and we had a fantastic time. Rosemary, Nigel and Debbie were fantastic hosts and the projects were fabulous.
Little freebies were given out throughout the weekend and I loved all the projects we were given. Best of all, we finished nearly all the projects that weekend so nothing was added to my “To Finish” pile!
Dad had a fantastic crop of pumpkins this year … one each for all the grandkids. Callum had first pick of the pumpkins. We didn’t choose the largest of the pumpkins on offer (we left that for his cousins!).
Callum chose a great design to carve on the pumpkin and we then popped it in our window so any trick-or-treaters would know this was a “safe” house to call at.
