Jo, The place and food for Grant's birthday celebration look fabulous, and your 2026 travel plans sound fantastic. Italy, Spain, the Cotswolds are well-loved destinations. Happy November!

What a delightful birthday lunch, Jo. Isn't it wonderful when a place has such lovely atmosphere and delicious food?

Well, you certainly inspired me this month - I watched an entire season of The Traitors and I'm almost finished the In Blue book series. Nice that you have travel plans to look forward to for 2026 - I'll be with you vicariously...

It's so good to catch up on your happenings Jo! I've missed that while on my blogging break. Your trip for 2026 sounds fabulous and I am envious as the Mediterranean is somewhere I'm keen to travel to, so I'll be following along!! I'm glad Philly is progressing well, she's been missed and I like your reasons for holding back the Christmas book, stay true to your standards. I've just started the Traitors UK and it's great, I'll have to go back and watch the earlier eps now. It's great to be back!
