The boys spent the weekend over in Halifax at Grannie Cuckoo’s – well until Sunday morning that is as they had a birthday arty to attend in Denby Dale.

Mummy and Daddy were out on Friday night at their favourite restaurant (The Hepworth near Holmfirth) and they were not let down – the usual high quality service and food was delivered – and a pianist in the bar to boot 🙂  The good news is that we are heading back for another meal there in under a month 🙂

Then on Saturday night it was Sheffield’s Motor Point arena again, only this time with David and Julie to see John Bishop’s show.  We had a nice meal in Pizza Express before heading in – the delay in getting food to the table meant that more beer was consumed than ideally should have been – thus Simon was not feeling that cleve by the time the night was coming to a close.  A trip to McDonalds helped apparently :-s

This weekend was the end of the summer as far as the clocks are concerned, so we all enjoyed an additional hour in bed – hence it is now lighter in the mornings BUT darker in the evenings.  So, as I look out of the office window, it has been dark for the last 20 or 30 minutes now 🙁

Also, the COLD weather has really picked it up a notch over the last week or so – we are now almost at scraping windscreens in the mornings and the house definitely is feeling very cold during the nights.  The thicker duvets will more than likely be making an appearance in our rooms very soon…
