Other than attending a couple of fireworks displays and a few sixth-form open evenings, we’ve not been out all that much this month as quite frankly the weather has been pants! I suspect this rather snuggly snapshot of E curled up on the chair with her fury friend just about sums November up. With the wet, miserable, dark, and dank weather we’ve spent most our evenings curled up on the couch either tuned into the television or battling each other on Bopl Battle (if you know, you know…). We had been hoping to attend this years Dickensian Festival but thanks …
October usually feels like such a lengthy month yet here we are almost at the end of it and I’m not entirely sure what we’ve done over the past four weeks. I guess working from home and sticking to a smooth schedule/ rigid routine makes time fly. It’s half-term here and as of tomorrow, I’m free to enjoy a couple of days out and about with the kids celebrating Halloween and cracking on with autumnal activities.

August has certainly been eventful though enjoyable despite the endless wind, rain, and even hail. Here’s hoping for some September sunshine! Thank you for reading this month’s #LivingArrows . I look forward to catching up with your #LivingArrows either …
