I have to confess that The Nutcracker is not well known to me, I have heard of it but never took an interest until now. I love going to the castle with all the Christmas trees in every room of the castle.

I was able to attend my first Christmas Sparkles party, which was hosted by Brandy B and the food prepared by Cindi with the help of David. The hospitality was warm and friendly, the food and drink provided were impeccable.

It’s that time again for the Christmas lights at Leeds Castle, this would be the 3rd year I have been. I was going last weekend, but the event was cancelled due to bad weather.

It's November already! The year has flown past! Got a chance of being Julie for the day, have to get out and check the shops and my usual haunt, Leeds Castle, usually for exercise.

Just getting over a cold, thanks to the weather changing, a fresh October day at Leeds Castle walk with the trees just changing colour.

Always wanted to go to Whitstable, my sister loves it. It's a bit like Rye, a lot of Art gallery's, small shops and barbers, also charity shops. Managed to find a road space without paying for car parking. A five-minute walk to the harbour.

Leeds Castle was holding its annual event - Motors by the moat. I have been meaning to go for ages, and the weather was good for a change. There were many cars there: army, classic, the Ghostbuster's car, motorbikes, and many more, including a jet ski display and a stunt car display. It was a good day out, the price was included in the year pass and free parking.

This is my first time to a Horse racecourse and did I win, NO! Well winning isn't everything, it's the taking part that counts and a chance to get dolled up at Brighton Horse Racecourse Ladies Day, and put on your best dress on and heels!The day out was organised by Cindi, through Brandy B, with a coach getting us there, we were not the only group of transgender there. The weather started off good but soon turned in to rain and a strong wind, not good for a fascinator, next time will go with the clip version and a jacket.

Tea for two, actually one, pure indulgence, why not. I wanted to go to Eastwell Manor - Champaneys for ages and how I had the chance. So, as you can see in the pictures, the food was excellent, you can taste every bit, and I paid extra for a glass of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Champagne, very nice! Of which the total cost was £46. Which took around 1 hour and 30 minutes to finish off the whole afternoon tea.

Today I revisited Pashley Manor in Sussex, the garden not the house, I think I have been going there about 15 years and never got the chance to go into the house.
