We are having a great October here in the far north of England. The sun has been shining and there are even butterflies around - amazing for this time of year. Took my dear old mum out for a drive along the coast this afternoon and that was good. Bought some nice fancy soft drinks for the next couple of wine free evenings (of many I hope!)! Feeling good here, if a tad nervous about night #1 and almost certainly hardly any sleep.
