I can't believe one of my favourite months of the year is over already! 🎃 I had a jam packed October but I still don't feel like I did enough to celebrate this wonderful, spooky month 👻
First things first - I launched the gothic romance collection! I'm so glad you guys loved these candles, and I'll be sad to see them leave the website this evening! 🕯Me and Ken also visited our first spooky building of the month - Little Moreton Hall. Little Moreton Hall has over 250 Witch marks throughout! I vlogged a little while we were there, so if you'd like to have a walk around and see some Witch marks - click here.
The following week took us on our annual trip to the pumpkin patch! Nothing really makes October feel like October quite like that first visit to your local patch. I bought *ELEVEN* pumpkins and I'm not ashamed. I also filmed a little of this day amist a week in the life vlog - tap here to watch that 🎃
Much of mid month passed in a blur of misty mornings, autumn leaves, pumpkins and of course more old and spooky estates to wander through-
Finally we wrapped up the month with a good old fashioned fright night! I always thought we had nothing like this in England, so I was over the moon to discover this event not far from me! They had live music, street food, creepy cabins and a corn maze crawling with scare actors, a pumpkin patch & carnival rides! It was so magical to visit a pumpkin patch at night under the full moon, and to eat hot sugar donuts that have been fried right in front of your eyes! This night sent my Halloween spirit into overdrive and I'm still giddy from it! If you want to watch me get jump scared a bunch - watch the fright night vlog 👻
