by RachelSwirl November 6, 2022

Welcome to this week’s #MySundaySnapshot post, which is part of a snap-sharing-blog-linky series that you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. We’ve been so lucky with the weather this year as not only did Halloween remain dry for trick or treating, but Bonfire Night was also thankfully a clear evening. We managed to squeeze in not just one but two fantastic fireworks displays this year, both of which were stunningly spectacular against the starry November sky. “Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot, I know of …

Things that I have #LikedandLoved in November 2021

by RachelSwirl November 30, 2021

So here we are at the end of November already, Christmas is rapidly approaching and winter has most definitely arrived. Temperatures have plummeted to below freezing, thus I’m togged up keeping toasty warm in my fluffy, fleecy pyjamas as I write this. Though November isn’t a month that I usually favour, particularly this year as my family marked twelve months since my Fathers passing, I was pleasantly surprised by a few of the endeavours and events that I’ve partaken in. So without further ado, here are some of the things that I have #LikedandLoved throughout the past thirty days. Matchy …

#LivingArrows – Baby You’re A Firework 44/52 (2019)

by RachelSwirl November 4, 2019

Bonfire night came early for us this year, as we visited a very short but sweet local display over the weekend. We’ve stocked up on sparklers and are all ready for round two tomorrow night, here’s hoping that the weather stays on our side and that we can enjoy the display without getting drenched. Once over E was a massive fan of fireworks, so much so that when my Dad had asked her what she wanted for Christmas, her answer was simply “fireworks Grandad, I want fireworks!”. Thankfully my folks didn’t buy our then two-year-old fireworks for Christmas. However, shortly …

#LivingArrows – Sparkle & Smile 45/53 (2018)

by RachelSwirl November 5, 2018

It feels as if there have been endless events over the past week. What with Halloween followed closely by Bonfire Night, we’ve certainly kept the kids well entertained! We’ve enjoyed a fair few evenings out celebrating the autumn festivities, all whilst stuffing our faces with festive sweet treats. It truly is time to start the diet before Christmas comes, I feel as if I’ve gained far too much frump over the past week or two and whilst I may have enjoyed the ‘Milky Way’ diet it’s time to cut out the crud and get back to the good stuff. This …

#MySundayPhoto – The Big Bang

by RachelSwirl November 4, 2018

We’ve just and so come back from a fireworks display with the children. Our daughter E is a pyro-maniac and adores fireworks, we therefore try to fit in as many displays as possible throughout November, starting this evening by visiting my parents house, to watch their local display. I too adore fireworks, there is something magical about standing by the fire whilst watching the plethora of colours pop, whizz and fizz in the sky. The smell of toffee apples, sparklers and gunpowder hanging heavy in the air. The sounds of excited children wowed by the bangs and crashes as they …
