Gosh, I can't remember what we did 2 weekends ago, I guess it was a quiet one, Nick was in Doncaster for a small RAF reunion and we must have just had a lounge about weekend. 

 I have managed to make 90 mince pies so far before running out of mincemeat this time.  I prepared more mincemeat last night and left it to soak overnight before putting it in the oven this morning so I am feeling quite festive and organised as I am also sitting beside a pile of ready to post christmas cards that I wrote out yesterday as well. 

The school was closed last Wednesday due to strike action but as it fell on St Andrews Day (30th Nov) there was a tree planting going on in celebration of the Queens jubilee next year so the 3 of us went along to that and planted some trees and Lily got on the telly!! 

Then on Saturday this last week it was the school Christmas Fair and I was helping on the raffle stall so that kept me busy for most of the afternoon.  Sunday we had friends round for lunch and then Nick managed to watch Wolves beat Sunderland on the telly after they left.  All in all a very pleasant weekend.
