HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND? We had forest birthday parties and a bear hunt. It really demonstrated how we're all weathers and people were really dressed for it after enduring(?) the beast from the east. We dug out our Nov 5th fire pan to keep people warm and used cold parents as a fire guard from straying children.

There's a chance of some snow or sleet but is currently looking like it will miss us. Lots of layers and waterproofs. We're never far from where we park so pack spare clothes in the car just in case. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2649029
