november weekend

Our weekend.  We had a lovely visit to Florencecourt House and Gardens.  We headed off early and enjoyed some lovely sunshine.


We admired the beautiful colours of autumn.

 And kicked through the millions of fallen leaves.

 We wished on pennies at the old watermill.


And played follow the leader.


We had some fun in the adventure playground and came home for lunch.  Now the little ones are all cosied up in their pyjamas after a bath and are playing snakes and ladders in front of the stove.

I have a late tea in the oven for Mr F and I and I am surrounded by crafty bits and bobs, making for the advent swap organised by Hookin' with Laa Laa.


I love that our weekends seem to follow the same pattern this time of year.  I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

  9. Sounds like a lovely day. Our little one has been on/off poorly this weekend but we did manage to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and gorgeous colours from the comfort of the car at least as we went for a lovely drive around some of our local beautiful countryside. I agree about weekends following a certain pattern at this time of the year. Ours certainly are. Fiona x
