31 Days of Halloween: Day 4

Day 4 of celebrating Halloween month, and I was home from Cumbria after a really productive (and gorgeous) writing retreat.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (Cinema)

First order of business when I got home was going straight back out again to watch the film adaptation of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

Halloween Gifts

When I got home properly, I was greeted by a lovely array of Halloween gifts from my mum and my mother-in-law.

Musk Ox Postcard

And I unlocked the Musk Ox postcard on my The Conqueror Arctic Circle virtual walking challenge!

31 Days of Halloween: Day 3

It's the third day of our month of Halloween, and the last day of my writing retreat in Cumbria!

Forest Walk

Today was mostly about writing for me, but I did get out for one final gorgeous walk in the forest and down to the river.

31 Days of Halloween: Day 2

It's the second day of our month of Halloween, and I'm still in Cumbria on my writing retreat! I was mostly reading and writing today, but I did get out for a lovely seasonal walk during the day too.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

I finished reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes this morning, ahead of going to see the rereleased film adaptation at the pictures when I get back.

Mushrooms

Saw some awesome mushrooms in the woods on my walk this afternoon.

Chocolate Digestives Tea

Spent the evening writing with a cup of Chocolate Digestives tea from Bird and Blend.

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!
