October is one of my most favoured months of the year. I love the glorious golden season and all the quirky events that take place during the autumn months. Here are some of the things that I have #LikedandLoved this October: Halloween-themed Decor & Perfect Pumpkin Carving As I had tested positive for COVID shortly before the half term, we spent the first few days of the holidays keeping ourselves entertained and occupied inside a little like lockdown to avoid unnecessarily spreading any further germs around the area.

Things that I have #LikedandLoved in October 2022

by RachelSwirl October 31, 2022

Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. And so here we are in October already, time sure flies though I can’t say that I’ve been having all that much fun.

I really feel for the kids as they would usually be getting ready for the likes of Halloween and Bonfire Night but sadly we will be unable …

And just like that October has come to a close. It’s been a busy and extremely expensive month for us but we’ve sure had some fun – here are a few of the things that I have #LikedandLoved during the month. The Half Term Holidays Autumn brought the half-term holidays, a much-needed break from the daily grind. Whilst we didn’t do an awful lot, we had a wonderful week filled with rest, relaxation and family fun. The Bling Is Back! Back in September I discovered that I was a diamond down. My husband very kindly took my wedding ring along …
