Saturday Selections
Watching: Life Story with David Attenborough - love him and this show.
Listening: Lots of top 40 this week - makes the Tiny Human happy and to be honest, me too!
Reading: Lots of kid books this week - revisiting some of my childhood favorites and loving it.
Wishing: For some more clear, crisp, blue sky days. We had such a mild autumn and winter has come crashing in with darkness and damp and I've missed those glorious in between days.
Loving: Soup. All the soup. Chicken noodle and butternut squash have been consumed in ridiculous proportions this week.
Doing: Crafting and building and shopping...trying to get on the ball so I can really enjoy Christmas this year
Making: Lists. So many lists.
Eating: Soup...see earlier note! And lots of veggies - feeling like I need the nourishment this week.
Hope you have a lovely weekend!!

Saturday selections
Listening: Grace Helbig, Not Too Deep podcast...hard to not LOL at work, but worth the risk.
Reading: Gone Girl - everyone has read this book by now (if you haven't - get it sorted this weekend!)
Wishing: House stuff is taking over right now - here's a few pieces I really really want! This calendar is top of the list, this fireguard is ahhhmazing...and I have a wall that is begging for a whole bunch of these guys to hang out on it.
Loving: Cozy plaid scarves - this one, this one and this one
Doing: Hunkering down, doing some serious nesting, and making space for new flat packed goodies
Making: Christmas presents...got a great idea for some (hopefully) fab homemade goodies for people I love
Eating: Comfort food ahoy! Chili and pasta and drinking ALL the red wine.
Hope you have a lovely weekend!!

Halloween round up
I know it's ages past the day - but life has been busy and so time for blog posts has been scarce!
We had six families this year...which is six more than last year! I miss the big swarms of people we used to get at home, but I think for this year (with the Tiny Human being early to bed etc) that we had just the right number of people.
We watched Walking Dead and Gogglebox...scary and hilarious. Ate lots of leftover candy and I may have had some wine (let's be real. I defo had wine). It was a cozy night in, which was just what we wanted as we had a Halloween party the next day at a friends house.
Here's a few pics from Halloween and a Halloween party for the littles.
Hope you had a spooky one!

Trick or TREAT!
Happy Halloween!
I love any reason to decorate the house, my tiny human, my nails and of course to bake!!!
Even though it is no where near as big of a deal here as it is at home I still celebrate every year.
For round one of my Halloween nails see here.
I did three different things to bring it to work for Halloween this year, my first time baking for this job...the pressure was ON!
I think they turned out ok...although seems like I should have made more of the pumpkins!
I'm really hoping we get lots of trick or treaters tonight (we had NONE last year!!) So really, I'd be happy with one.
We're watching scary movies (well not too scary as the Hubs is a proper wimp) and eating soup and probably a lot of treats tonight...what are you up to?
Hope you have a spooky evening, whatever you're doing!

Non-waterproof umbrellas
The other day I was waiting for my train home and the rain was coming down so hard it actually started raining INSIDE my umbrella.
I love the clear cold numb cheeks and noses, and cozy clothes days of autumn. Crunchy leaves and the sun having just a little bit of warmth.
What I don't love are soggy leaves, wet feet (one of my worst things in life!!) and damp everything...
So rain rain GO AWAY!
Unless I don't have anywhere to go and can sit inside, drink lots of tea, coffee and red wine, read magazines and books and watch movies...those rainy days are just fine by me!

Falling in to Autumn
So even though the weather people are forecasting higher temperatures by the weekend, we'd be kidding ourselves by thinking that we're not falling in to Autumn.
It's dark when wake up, and peeling the duvet off and crawling out of bed is getting harder and harder...the only thing that encourages the swift run downstairs is the promise of the boiler turning on and hot coffee.
The tiny human even needed encouragement to get out of bed today.
But with the dark, wet and cold mornings come all sorts of wonderful autumnal things that I cannot wait for...here's a random list of the stuff I'm excited about over the next 6 weeks (before I can get properly excited about Christmas)!
1. Clear cold blue skies, crunchy leaves and long bundled up walks
2. Pumpkin everything (pie, pancakes, muffins, cookies, cakes, coffee, beer...everything)
3. Two Thanksgivings (one of the benefits of being half Canadian and half American)
4. Regular roast dinners and long Sunday lunches...(one of the benefits of being married to a Brit and living in the UK)
5. Puddle jumping with the tiny human - his excitement is contagious
6. Big cozy sweaters and BOOTS!
7. Lots of hot drinks, mulled wine, winter Pimms, coffee, tea, big mugs of steaming yummy
8. Open fires - second year with real fireplaces in our house...can't wait!
9. Halloween - costumes, pumpkin carving, decorating the house and lots of candy
10. Visiting the pumpkin patch
11. Sofa snuggles with books and blankets
12. Pub lunches after long walks
13. The CROCKPOT!
14. Crafting
15. Lots and lots of red wine
What are you excited about this Autumn?
