The plot

Mr B had the afternoon off to join me in meeting a mortgage advisor.
The meeting went rather well.

Bonus is it's November the 5th!
He picked up the kids from school (they didn't know!)
We had a bonfire in the back garden after dark,
sparklers,
fireworks courtesy of next-door-but-one
and toasted marshmallows.
Came inside for some wood burner cosiness and firework style sweet treats.
A late night for the kids - even more exciting!

Brilliant evening!

(The lighting of the stove was the first of the season... addicted already!)
