Autumn

Days are getting cooler, evenings are getting shorter and the leaves are just beginning to fall. It can only mean one thing - Autumn is well and truly here. There's something about this time of the year that makes me ridiculously happy. Growing up, I always loved the anticipation of Halloween. Getting to dress up and go trick or treating was my favourite (still kinda wish it was acceptable for adults to trick or treat. Haha). Mam forever had us dressed in the best D.I.Y costumes possible - witches, vampires... basically anything that a black bin bag could transform you into. She'd pull out the Halloween Essentials Kit that stayed hidden away from the previous October and do her thing with face paints, fake blood, wigs and glitter and by the time she was finished with us, we were ready to terrorise the neighbours... all 4 feet of us. As I've gotten older, things haven't changed much. Although I haven't worn a bin bag as a costume since I was 10, I'm still as excited as ever about Halloween. Here are a few more things I'm looking forward to this season!
