Four weeks in review, four weeks in view

This has been a packed 4 weeks. These are words I think are likely to lead off every recap and planning post for the foreseeable future, to be honest ... maybe til after we get home from our overseas trip next year, even. I guess it's better to be busy than bored!

Aside from all the other stuff, this four weeks will include our traditional annual Christmas Tree Up and Baking day. We usually try to do this on or before 1 December, but that dog won't hunt this year, as the 1st is a Friday and the weekend before (the last one in November) has no room at all. Doing it a day late will be OK - I am sure it will not be noticed by anyone but me, tbh!

This year, honestly, has wings...
