Hi

Chatsworth house one of the places we visited on our holiday

I never intentionally meant to keep away this long, but the time just got away. The holiday Robert and I had was wonderful and the weather was fab after the dull summer, work was busy and entered a few floral competitions and time spent outside after work before the dark nights set in. Talking of dark nights the clocks go back this week so it will be dark when i leave work at 5pm and as i go for a early swim before work it will be dark in the mornings. I wouldn't mind the colder weather so much if it wasn't so dark. But we are off again on the 9th November for a week not to our usual beloved Scotland but a cultural coach tour through France to Spain, watch this space. Back at the shop the Christmas goods are arriving every day. I really don't like putting out the stock to early and not before bonfire night the 5th November, but the major stores and garden centers are ready set for Xmas and I have even seen an advert on the tv, so you get swept along with it all.
