This week, I’ve been loving…
Christmas Markets
I can’t believe it’s
December already – where has the last year gone?! In past years I’ve visited
larger Christmas Markets like Winter Wonderland and one up in Manchester, but
this year I’m really not up to a big Christmas Market. Thankfully, my little
town has started holding their own Christmas Market for the last few years and
every year it seems to get more popular. So, yesterday afternoon I went down to
help on the Youth stall, selling our famous hot chocolate mountains. By the end
of it I couldn’t feel my toes, but it was lovely getting the whole community
together to switch on the lights, while raising money for some very worthy causes.

Craisins
This week I’ve discovered a
new tasty, yet healthy snack – Craisins.
A bit back I had some dried cranberries in one of my Graze boxes, so went to
hunt round the supermarket for some and came across these. They’re a good
source of fibre and one serving meets 25% of your daily-recommended fruit
needs. Calorie wise, they’re pretty much the same as a serving of raisins, so
if you’re looking for a sweet treat with none of the guilt, I’d really
recommend giving these a try!
New member of our family
This week we welcomed a new
member to our family – a gorgeous little 12-week-old Jack Russell, called
Freddie. He was found abandoned and taken in by the RSPCA, and we picked him up
on Friday. It perplexes me how anyone could abandon such a beautiful little
animal. Our other dog, Alfie, isn’t too sure, but is slowly getting used to him
and having his toys stolen! We’re keeping him at home at the moment, as he hasn’t
had all his injections, but once he’s fully vaccinated he’ll be keeping my
sister company while she works at the stables. There are lots of other little
dogs there so he’ll have a whale of a time playing with them, and then coming
back to us in the evening.
What has grabbed your attention this
week? I love hearing about people’s new discoveries and you may end up sharing
something that makes it onto my list next week!
