Photo Diary | Autumn, According To My Phone
The temperatures have edged over into ‘cor it’s cold’ and the trees are bare and spiky; winter is here. And so the camera roll full of orange leaves and, well, more orange leaves will merge into excessive photos of fairy lights and my Christmas tree (currently having the annual battle of when-it’s-acceptable-to-put-the-tree-up in our household).

The October Highlights

Another lockdown looms, we’ve cancelled another holiday (why do all my holidays seem to fall the week after a lockdown is announced?) and even the prospect of Christmas isn’t giving me the usual happy feels because none of us know what the heck is going on.
So yeah. That’s where we’re at. But I’m gonna try and squeeze out the little joys from the last month anyway, in the hope it makes me feel marginally better.
Out & About
I feel like I’ve spent a lot of the last few weeks wandering around my local bookshop (which, incidentally, is one of the best bookshops) like some kind of comfort blanket. We’ve also had chance to see a handful of friends and family, have a little date night at the pub and a lovely Sunday roast in rural Norfolk where there was an abundance of conker trees. I’m already mourning the loss of these little things.
Hey there!
