After having a sudden urge to read pride and prejudice I realised I don't own a single Jane Austen book 😱
Thanks to Abe books I have rectified the situation!
If by some miracle I get a chance to read over Christmas I am now sorted...
(Also please appreciate my fav new cup in the photo ☺️)

I loved getting the opportunity to play my flute again with the amazing flute choir Flutes and Co for their Christmas concert (even though I only had 1 rehearsal)
I had forgotten how much I enjoy playing with others. I'm looking forward to joining them next term!

A lovely afternoon yesterday visiting the beautiful Rookhow. This meeting house was built in 1725 in a beautiful oak woodland. Groups can stay in the cosy bunkbarn or yurt on site. I really recommend a visit!

In Manchester today for a network meeting at the beautiful royal exchange.
I only managed to take photos of the kaiserchmarr'n stall at the Christmas market for my sister ( @rebeccam-b.bsky.social you will appreciate too) and my street food lunch to make my husband jealous 🤦‍♀️

Really enjoyed winter at Seizergh Castle @nationaltrust.bsky.social The house was beautifully decorated and the grounds felt really atmospheric with the lights, sculptures and music. I hope they do it again next year, felt like it was a great success.

The guineas enjoying a morning veggie feast. I think they're a fan of the morning slow cooker prep.

Muppets Christmas Carol season has arrived at our house as we hide from the sleet and rain.
