The Autumn Tag

-


I have grown to love Autumn more as the years go on, and I must admit, I think it is now my favourite by a margin (Except for the wind). The colours, the wrapping up, the candle scents and the anticipation for Halloween and Christmas.

I know that we are almost a month into Autumn but the whether is shocking and I feel really autumnal today so I wanted to take part in the Autumn Tag.

1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you?
 
The colour changes in the leaves, the colder weather and the floor being covered in fallen leaves, we love crunching through them when going on Autumn walks.

2. What is your favourite Autumn scent?

My favourite scent of Autumn has to be Pumpkin spice, we had a candle last year which was pumpkin spice and chestnut which smelt so amazing. I just like all the spices mixed together too.

3. What is your favourite Autumn colour?

This has to be the deep red that some of the leaves go, it is such a warm colour and makes it somehow feel warmer than it actually is, if that makes sense.

4. What is your favourite Autumn drink?

My favourite drink kind of goes with a Christmas drink too and that is a Sticky Toffee Latte, they are so sweet and tasty but really do warm you up too. I can't wait for Costa to bring there winter menu out soon.

5. What TV show, new or old, are you looking forward to this Autumn?

I am quite looking forward to watching a series called Gunpowder with Kit Harington in. It is based on the story of Guy Fawkes and Bonfire night. We are also looking forward to a new series of Alaskan Bush People, for some strange reason we seem to gravitate towards documentaries quite a bit.

6. What is your favourite Autumn fashion trend?

I am all for a chunky knit in any colour, they are so cosy and comfy. I have only recently joined the chunky knit band wagon and I want more haha. I also love wearing my boots in Autumn, they are just above the ankle and are so comfy to wear.

7. What is your favourite frugal Autumn activity?

This year we have made some really cool looking leaf bunting from some dried fallen leaves, my daughter decorated them with paint, glitter and sequins and I have then thread them onto some thread and hung them across the front of our TV unit. We also love to decorate pine cones with glitter too.

8. What is your favourite makeup look come Autumnal weather? 

 I like a deeper coloured blusher during the colder months and also I usually make my eye make up a little darker. It adds some nice warm tones to the skin without making you look flushed.

 I have really enjoyed talking about Autumn, if you wish to take part, I tag you all. Feel free to use these questions.

    I love the deep red colour that the leaves change too. That for me is the start of Autumn.

    Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. It's as if we all have permission to nest now. To curl up within our four walls with a good book and a broken-in sofa to ease back into warmth + real + home. x

BHP Show 2016 • Lydden Hill

-
Image
The last time I visited the BHP show I was pregnant with Lil's and it was only a one day event. This year I got to take my baby back to see it for herself and enjoy two days there instead, including a COLD night of camping.  The BHP show is (I believe) a yearly event which takes place at Lydden Hill Race Circuit. This is about 1 hour and a half drive from our house so not too far for us to go, Lilly was as good as gold travelling both there and back, but then again she slept the whole way back.  The show wasn't as good as back in 2012 due to the lack of demo's but the Drift Allstars team were amazing and made Lilly scream with joy after a silly 5 minutes of being scared.  On the Sunday we took a look around the pits, that's a big reason why we like Lydden hill is because of the open pits. There were so many nice cars both drift cars and track day cars too. Lilly was very excited especially aboutt the purple one pictured below.  There was a gia...

Abnormal cells • Smear test • My treatment

Following in from my The importance of a smear test  I wanted to share what happened next. I believe this is also as inportant as the first part and the more unknown. I recieved a letter about two weeks after my smear saying that I had borderline cell changes and that I would be booked in for a colposcopy. This was horrible, the worst kept going through my mind, the C word.  I then waited a further week for an appointment for the clinic which was 3 weeks wait again, this also made me a little more nervous.  Well today I arrived at the clinic full of butterflies. My name was called and I went into the room. At first a nurse went through what she was going to do and asked a few questions, I was then asked to get ready.  The colposcopy was a little uncomfortable, just like the smear and was a little longer. She then gave me the news that everything looks clear but would take a biopsy to confirm her investigation, this was the worst bit, it felt l...

Being a carer for my parents

-
Image
Both my parents have mobility issues and are bithnow in wheelchairs. Since I can remember my Mum has been in a wheelchair due to have a very worn hip joint which she was born with.  When I was in year 9 my Dad's back started to hurt and progressivly got worse to the point where he struggled to get out of bed. I am now classed as a carer to my mum which is important for me, my mum is very stubborn and sometime I have to have a little nag to get her to do things. I don't see my parents in any other way than just my parents, if that makes sense. My Mum is an amazing person who makss me proud every day. Due her lack of mobility she also has other health problems which she can control with tablets and lifestyle changes.  My Dad is still constantly on the go with his veterans and the local carnival which he does every year using his mobility scooter as his base for his structure. He does feel it after he compeltes things but I think it gives him motivation to...
