In view of the autumnal chill at night I have lit a fire in the Library, so we can gather round and toast marshmallows later as we sip the warming punch I have brewed for us, though usual tailcocks also available.
Have made a sizeable batch of Steak and onion Pasties for later.
I am sure Alexanderd will light the chimeneara thingy on the terrace for those who wish a ciggy or a moonlight waltz.
The collection plate is as usual on the hall table, though goodness knows what we are collecting for this time.
