Happy Friday. Ugh Bonfire night was a washout last night. This whole week has just been covered in fog, mist, grey clouds and rain. But we still did sparklers in the garden and went to a mini bonfire on Wednesday night, it's an annual tradition in Ben's family. I say it every week but this week really has flown by. I said to myself that I wouldn't start thinking about Christmas until after Bonfire night, I'm normally so much more organised than this and would have done all my shopping by now in previous years. Now it is after bonfire night so I'd better get started! {Oh and claxon! John Lewis Christmas ad is out!!!} 

What do you have planned for this weekend? We're hosting a dinner party tonight so I'm getting the house ready and cooking {chicken stuffed with pesto and mozarella wrapped in parma ham. A classic that never gets old. Although I'm cheating and buying puds instead of making one}. Tomorrow we're hoping it's second time lucky to see fireworks without the rain, fingers crossed! And then on Sunday we're escaping to The Cotswolds for a night away, there's a hotel to review for SYGM which I'm really looking forward to. Hope you have a lovely one! R <3 xx

- oh and my foot that I talked about last week was just a trapped nerve! Phew!
