It’s not quite finished yet – we have to add a whole load of presents around the tree. Morgan has been working hard on those. Otherwise progress on the Christmas Tree themed Christmas Cake is coming on well. Even if I do now literally have green fingers thanks to all of the green food colouring!...
Another sleepless night last night thanks to the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers.

Just a few quick clips of Morgan flying his kite at Ynyslas on Sunday afternoon.
