31 Days of Halloween: Day 1


October begins! And it's time for our usual month of spooky season celebrations. It's a bit of an unusual start this time, as I'm away in Cumbria on a writing retreat. I was so focused on my writing today, there wasn't a lot of Halloween celebrations, but I tried to mark the season a little bit.

Snowball Tea



Okay, this isn't quite seasonal. I was writing about Christmas, so I had a cup of Snowball tea from Bird and Blend. Very nice... not very spooky though!

Lentil Soup



I attempted to find something a bit more autumnal for tea though!
