Well, I wish I was doing nothing, but it's been a lovely busy few days since I last did a blog post.
Firstly, the builders are STILL here! .... yes, it's driving me nuts, but I can see the end in sight, so that's a good thing. Simon has been moving things along though, as if we waited for the builder to do them, seriously ... I'd be setting a place at Christmas for him. So Simon built the gazebo, and oh he did such an amazing job. I just need to start looking for a little outdoor sofa for it, and some decoration bits ... yes, bunting and such lol.
Autumn has arrived, which has meant summer decor goes away and out come the autumn and winter cushions; and I also found this cute little or not so little pumkin in the shops the other day, which is perfect on our table.
It's also meant that Starbucks have Pumpkin Spice Latte's out and oh my word, I'd have them just because I love the mugs they come in.
Last week we attended the Lord Mayors banquet at Mansion House. Its just the most amazing venue and I love attending. This year was made even more special for me, as our friends came along as well. It was a fabulous fabulous evening. I even got a new dress for it.
Over the weekend and on Monday, I held coffee mornings for the MacMillan Cancer fund. I can't thank everyone enough for coming and together we raised £193 for the charity. I'm over the moon with that.

ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely coffeee morning thanks Sandra. Your dress looked fab for the banquet, and I bet you had a wonderful evening. Patio and gazebo look great, and will be a good place to shelter in the winter while the dogs stretch their legs. I love your pumpkin, can I be cheeky and ask where it is from?
