I Love Autumn & Halloween… here’s what we got up to !
Spooky fun at the farm.
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.
With our Nephews ๐
A great family day out, themed really well and with lots of fun to be had.
A fanily Halloween party for the kiddies.
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.
Halloween at ours
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 ๐ฑ
Scream is my favourite ‘Scary Movie’ and it was cool to watch it on the big screen.
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.
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.

The final Youth Club Farewell ๐ฅ
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.
Meeting Auntie Frances & BarryTime to packThe best scone I’ve ever had
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 ๐ฅ
