Our favourite five – November | Awards, fireworks, and lights

by StaceyUpdated on December 10, 2016December 11, 2016

I can’t quite believe it’s December already; this year has gone so quick! I started joining in with our favourite five back in May and the months just seem to have flown by. I’m surprised I have managed to join every month; but I think I do so because it’s nice to look back on our month and see that even if I’ve had bad days, there has been good too.

I did have a Subway for lunch on the day of weigh in, but it was the first thing I’d really had off plan.

Lekto Woodfuels | Review

Now winter is well and truly here, I’m finding that I am needing the heating on pretty much all day. But as I mentioned in this post, we have a solid fuel boiler which means lots of wood and coal is needed for the next few months! We do have lots of trees that need cutting down, that we can use; but then they need drying out and that takes a long time.
