I went visit Mrs F, my BFF and Mr F (who had had his leaving party the night before). Mrs F wanted to visit some Christams fairs she had seen on Facebook.
She had been after some log reindeers for a while and had seen that a company had a stall at a local Christmas Craft fair. We popped along and it was heaving, apparantly Father Christmas had called in and was being very generous. There were all sorts of different companies, one that caught my eye was the boozy cupcake company. I was tempted but as I had just bought my ferry tickets home I was rather penniless, I gave them a grudging miss. As we headed back to the car I passed the tombola stall, which had boozy cupcakes as a prize. "I'll buy a ticket, it's only £1!" I called as family F walked on. It was as I paid that I realised it wasn't a tombola but a raffle.
"If I win, you can have the prize!" I told Mrs F, thinking nothing more of it.
We headed to the harbour and had a coffee and cake, BFF and I did some bonding as we oohed and aahed over the Christmas lights and stalls.
BFF showed off her nearly walking skills, she met a little friend called a bolonoodle (a 3week old puppy) it was ridiculously cute and very fluffy.
Before it got too late we snuck over to a local garden centre that had real reindeer.
I couldn't tell which of the reindeer they were, but they were very friendly, if a bit sleepy.
We wandered around the lovely Chrsitmas displays and got our groove on to the oldest Santa band in the land.
The following week I received a phone call saying I had won the raffle, unfortunately the boozy cupcakes were all gone. Nevermind, better luck next time.
