Are you a fan of Halloween? Personally, I love to get into the spooky atmosphere of Halloween, but only the light-hearted side of it. I like the pumpkins, black cats, witches, ghosts that many would consider pretty ‘tame’ when it comes to spooky things. Basically, the Halloween of my childhood. However, I’m not …
In my opinion, autumn is one of the most atmospheric times of the year. The weather turns cool and crisp, the leaves turn orange and brown and there is a scent of bonfires in the air. We’ve had a warm September here in the UK and I’ve been holding onto summer. But now that October …

[Edit 20/1/23: This blog no longer seems to exist so I have removed the links.] It turned out well, so today I decided to make another of her recipes: Pumpkin Spice Granola. I put on some music and got cooking. I …
My garden is looking very Autumnal at the moment. Today, I went outside to take some Autumnal photos! It was raining outside, as you will be able to tell from the photos. I think this added to the atmosphere. Here are some of the Autumnal things I found: Colourful Leaves Here are just some of …
A few weeks ago I saw a recipe for a Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte that Ruth posted on her blog ThatAutisticFitChick. [Edit 20/1/23: This blog no longer seems to exist so I have removed the links.] Until today, I had never tried a pumpkin spice latte. Since it is a seasonal drink, I decided to …
Today, I decided to do some colouring in, but with an Autumnal twist! Colouring is a great relaxing activity to do at home when you just need to chill out for a bit. I also find colouring helpful when I need something to keep my hands busy when I am listening to something, such as …
