We have really enjoyed the cold snap at Tavistock this week because it makes our grounds look so beautiful. Children enjoyed collecting frosty leaves and bringing pieces of ice to school which they found on their morning walks. I have enjoyed de-icing both the inside and outside of my car in the mornings! My lovely car is rather old but still gets me from A to B so whilst a newer one might have better heating, I won't be changing it any time soon. There's nothing wrong with golden oldies after all.

I am off to see my daughter and little grandson this weekend. I am very excited and have my bag packed ready to go. My trusty steed is topped up with juice and its hooves have been checked. It is hard to believe that he is now 8 weeks old and my baby has been a mummy for 8 weeks. Some of the days have flown by for her and some days have felt a little longer especially when Fred decided to test her parenting abilities. He is growing, smiling and clean, so I reckon she is doing an amazing job and he is a very lucky boy to have her as his mummy. It is such a rewarding job being a parent, but it sure can be tough at times can't it. 

Enjoy your weekend everyone and I will see you on Monday which will be our last Monday in November. It would be predictable to say where has this year gone...
