31 Days of Halloween: Day 27

Another day of celebrating our Halloween month. It was a bit more relaxed than yesterday's craziness, but still very enjoyable and super-seasonal.

Samhain Nature Walkshop

I went on Natalie Rossiter's annual Samhain Nature Walkshop this afternoon, which has become a really special part of my Halloween celebrations. We did forest bathing, searching for beauty in decay, looking for messages in the woods, and then reflection around the fire with homemade biscuits, mulled apple juice and magical flames.

Pumpkin Lantern

When I got home from the woods, Rob had carved our pumpkin lantern.

Halloween Dinner

Tonight, we had our traditional Halloween Dinner of Pumpkin and Sausage Casserole.

Halloween Gifts

And then after dinner, we swapped our traditional Halloween gifts - the last whiskies to add to the set that we'll drink in December.

N is for Night of the Living Dead

Our Horror A-Z continued tonight with Night of the Living Dead.

31 Days of Halloween: Day 15

I submitted my manuscript this morning! Woohoo! Can't believe I got the draft done! So the rest of the day was spent doing other things...

Spooky Season Virtual Writing Retreat

In quite odd timing, I spent today running an online writing retreat. But I'd literally just sent 90,000 words to my publisher and had absolutely no words left.

Halloween Pyjamas

My mum has outdone herself with today's Halloween present. She came round and dropped off matching glow-in-the-dark Halloween pyjamas for me and Rob.

31 Halloween Films: Beetlejuice

The random number generator has spoken... tonight we watched Beetlejuice!

31 Halloween Films: Night of the Living Dead

They're coming to get you, Barbra...
