I love October but the constant rain today has been miserable. The children were really looking forward to a trip to the pumpkin patch but unfortunately this was cancelled due to the weather. In need of a little cheering up, we broke open the Halloween chocolates and sweets! We enjoy Autumn and love nothing more…

Are you celebrating Halloween in your house? Despite not celebrating it when I was growing up, it’s a festival that my children just adore.

I really enjoy Autumn. We’ve been looking for conkers and kicking leaves on the school run and fully embracing the changing weather. Our thoughts have been turning to Halloween and I’m hoping to find some pumpkins this weekend so we can start planning our Autumn decorations. With Halloween on the horizon I’m happy to have…
