One of the best things about moving to Bournemouth has been joining the Christchurch & Highcliffe Community Band. I knocked another thing off my bucket list this year by playing carols at ASDA (Walmart) four nights over the past two weeks.
I like to follow the advice of Buddy the elf this time of year when he said, "The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear." I just replaced singing with playing.

Auspicious Autumn
In the UK tinned pumpkin doesn't seem to exist. So every year I have to sacrifice a pumpkin in order to have the American staple of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. I guess for a vegetarian it's kind of like murdering and plucking your own turkey. This year I had one success and one failure (or successful pumpkin pudding--however you want to look at it).
Earlier in the month I hosted a prayer meeting at our house and made cupcakes that were autumnal...not Halloween themed. But a belated Happy Samhain to all my fellow heathens out there!
Daniel used part of his equipment allowance this week and got himself a brand new shiny Sony something or other.
