Blogmas Day Five: My Harry Potter Tree โšก๐ŸŽ„

20 Days to go!

Here is my Harry Potter Christmas tree.

Enjoy!

There is a mixture of ornaments of all the different Hogwarts Houses, with the main theme being Gryffindor.

Gryffindor is my favourite Hogwarts house so I have the Gryffindor bow ribbons? extra Gryffindor ornaments and extra red and gold baubles.

Until Next Time,

Blogmas Day Two: Advent Calendars ๐ŸŽ„


Day Two: Advent Calendars… Because who doesn’t love an advent calendar!?

So, here are mine!

This was only ยฃ4 (reduced from ยฃ8) in Primark.

How cute is it!?!

It has little pouches for you to add your own treats. I picked up little chocolate rectangles, from Wilko, for me and my husband.

They fit in nice and snuggly.


And number two…

It is a Harry Potter Pop Up Calendar.

I found this in my favourite local book shop – in town. Isn’t it amazing ๐Ÿ˜

You’re sensing the theme now right…

If you’ve been around here before or know me you’ll know I’m HP mad – so yeah… they are both Harry Potter advent Calendars ๐Ÿคฃโšก

This was a bit pricey but so worth it. You get this beautiful pop up book and on the base are little doors to open.

Each door has a little hanging decoration to hang on the pop up tree.

It’s beautiful and reusable each year!! Amazing.


What advent calendar do you have?

23 days to go!

Until Next Time,

Halloween Fun ๐ŸŽƒ

I Love Autumn & Halloween… here’s what we got up to !

We went out for the day, to a nearby farm!

It was brilliant.

There was SO much to do.. we made wands, got sorted into our Hogwarts house, had a spooky trailer ride, explored the spooky maze, picked and decorated pumpkins, pettee guinea pigs & rabbits, looked at loads of other animals and had a bug trailer ride.

A great family day out, themed really well and with lots of fun to be had.

We had a fun little family Halloween party at my sisters house.s

She set up some fun activities for them, we also had a buffet of party food, spooky tunes and Halloween pass the parcel.


Me & Tim always do a few Halloween traditions at home – these include carving a pumpkin (we’ve done one every year that we’ve been together) and I make us ‘Spooky Sausages’ which are meant to look like mummies.

I also like to watch horror films but Tim isn’t too keen on those so thats usually just me haha

Some of my favourites are Scream, Halloween, Hocus Pocus, Nightmare before Christmas and Nightmare on Elm St.


Our local cinema was showing some Halloween classics on Halloween.

Me and my Twin sister Sarah always watch horror films together so we went along and watched the original Scream! I can’t believe its the 25th Anniversay ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Scream is my favourite ‘Scary Movie’ and it was cool to watch it on the big screen.


What did you get up to this Halloween?

Do you have any traditions??


Until Next Time,

Five things I try to do:

Take time out for yourself, buy yourself a coffee, go for a nice walk, read a chapter of your book.

Don’t just say yes all of the time – sometimes its ok to say, no I actually don’t want/agree with that.

Take the time to indulge in your hobbies.

Even if someone annoys you – take a deep breath & kill them with kindness.

When you are feeling down and being unkind to yourself, think about how you would feel if someone treated your loved ones like that – it makes you sad doesn’t it?! – so don’t treat yourself like that.

&

if all else fails, talk to someone, anyone. You are not alone.

Stay.

My Favourite Podcasts

Hi Guys ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

I have really been enjoying podcasts over the last year. A Lockdown discovery. I enjoy listening to them before bed.

I have an eye op this week so I won’t be able to read for a bit ๐Ÿ˜ซ

So I know that these podcasts will be my saviour.

Here are some of my favourite ones.

Holiblog: Summer 2021 pt 2

Part 2… its very late but ah well.

So, as I said, I thought I would start up the ‘Holiblog’ series for the Summer… turns out I didn’t do a very good job… because here we are, quite a few days into Autumn and I haven’t posted a Part Two: August…

So here is that part… not because anyone cares but because we did alot of fun stuff in August and it deserves its own part too.

Let’s take a look!

The final Youth Club Farewell ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

The Youth Club that I went to as a teen and have volunteered at for over ten years is closing. It is really sad and the end of an era! The leaders who used to look after us are now our friends and we had some great times that we will treasure fondly.

We celebrated our oldest friends (who we’ve known the longest, since we were 3!!) 30th Birthday.

We had some nibbles, drinks and a noce catch up.

I can’t believe we are all turning 30 ๐ŸŽˆ

This was our Summer holiday this year and because of COVID we thought we would keep it local.

We went camping (for the first time!!) Staying at Waveney River Centre in Norfolk. It was nice and relaxing and a bit different. We had some nice meals, played games, went on walks in the sunshine, swam and met up with my Auntie and Cousin.

Me & my twin sister had organised our bestfriends Hen and finally (thanks COVID!!) it happened.

And it was SO much fun! We started with an Escape Room, followed by lunch, an amazing, hilarious, tipsy Cocktail Masterclass, Dinner and more cocktails ๐Ÿฅ‚

We started off with fun at ‘YaYas House’ a stay and play play centre, which would of 100% been my dream as a child, with its themed rooms.

The boys came over for a sleepover – its so good to be able to do them again.

Holiblog: Summer 2021

Hi guys ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

I thought I would start up the holiblog series again, for this summer.

Here is how I have spent the later part of July, since the summer holidays began.

It’s been a fun start.

What I’ve read so far… 2021 Edition ๐Ÿ“š

Hi Guys ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

I thought I would do a halfway through the year, book update!

Every year I have done a reading challenge of sorts, and this year, instead of monthly or quarterly updates I thought I would do two Six month updates.

So, here is my first reading update of 2021, January – June.


[Disclaimer: I’m not that fast a reader sometimes, it comes in fits and spurts, and I’ve had lots of revision to do, so its not as long a list as I’d like]


January – June 2021

The Winter Garden By Heidi Swain

The Land of Stories: A Grimm Warning By Chris Colfer

Because of You By Dawn French

The Lido By Libby Page

Push by Ashley Audrain

The Holiday by T.M Logan

A Taste of Home by Heidi Swain

Only Time Will Tell By Jeffrey Archer

The Sins of the Father By Jeffrey Archer

Until Next Weekend By Rachel Marks

The Dead Fathers Club By Matt Haig

Saving the Day By Katie Fforde

The Motive By Khurrum Rahman

Best Kept Secret By Jeffrey Archer

My favourites so far are, of course the Heidi Swain novels ‘The Winter Garden’ & ‘A Taste of Home’ as well as ‘Until Next Weekend’ ‘Push’ & ‘The Holiday’ which I could not put down. I love that feeling.

The suprise was the Harry Clifton series by Jeffrey Archer, the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover.

Have you read any of these books??

Until Next Time,

Roseanne ๐Ÿ™‚
