It’s Half Term this week and we’ve been spending time as a family.
The kids and I visited the local garden centre to see the Christmas display on Monday. We go every half term, normally there are animated polar bears which are Sir’s favourite but unfortunately not this year. They still enjoyed it though.
Hubby had yesterday and today off work so we’ve taken advantage to get some shopping done and have lunch out. Madam had a new winter coat, we’ve finished getting the family Christmas cards, and ordered the turkey (sorry to anyone who isn’t ready for the “c” word yet!”
We even tried out a new coffee shop chain that’s opened in the town – well not new but we hadn’t been there so new to us.
I’ve done some online ordering too and now have ideas for more things to get.
The weather has been brilliant so of course I’ve been out in the garden. There’s talk of us having a BBQ tomorrow..
And a pumpkin to carve!
It’s nice not to be rushing about with work and school runs. Back to reality on Monday…

It sounds like you’ve had a lovely half term. Garden centres are fab at this time of year. I have started preparing for Christmas, I have a lot of the presents bought and I’ve started on some of the food and drink. x
I’m glad your half term was good, you sound like you have preparations underway for Christmas, I’m feeling a little behind this year.
