We went to Kingfield School's Frost Fair on Saturday; our local primary now holds it outside, hence the frosty name. Sarah won 2 bottles of squash in the bottle tombola. We weren't as lucky with "Rudolph's Lucky Carrot" game, where you had to find the special red carrot to win a prize. Adam was just sad there wasn't a "Splat The Rat".

Bonus beats: if you want an abundance of Christmas stalls selling everything from reindeer burgers to toys to jewellery, the South Bank market in London is open until February (probably).Our favourite stall is the one selling German handicrafts.

Advent Calendar 2025

1st December 2025

Hello! We've sort of lost count, but think the first Advent Calendar was back in 2003, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine says it looked like this: Of course all the links are dead, but the thing it has in common with this year's is that it is still coded in HTML, probably the last thing I will ever rely on coding for. Now it looks like this: Happy Advent! We have gone for the Bonne Maman JAM Calendar again this year, after leaving it too late last year and it selling out at both Fenwick and Selfridges! We get a fresh pot of jam every day to enjoy with our tartines and Ovomaltines. We also have the Domino's "Merry Crustmas" leaflet, and a MUJI calendar we'll show you later in the month. Do let us know what you are opening every day! You can leave a message below, or email us your ideas and suggestions for future days at robotmaths@outlook.com Have a great day!
