Having
ended September with a couple of negative posts, I feel the need to dive into
the new month with an air of positivity and excitement. We're driving headlong
into Autumn now, and by the end of October we'll have less greenery, barer
trees, colder days, darker mornings and we'll be back in GMT.
Ok, that's not a good start to my 'positive posting'.
So, look - Autumn is beautiful. The colours are always amazing and we get some
wonderful skies, with both sunsets and sunrises painting the overhead canopy
with a luxurious spray of hues. There won't be as many bothersome insects
buzzing around, spider season will be behind us soon, and there is nothing
better than having a fire in the garden on a crisp, cold October evening.
Hallowe'en is on the way, and although I used to despise other people's
children banging on my door, I have to say that it's a wonderful week to be a
parent. Half-term will be a riot, as we put on some really fun events onsite
and we get lots of local families joining us, as well as a full quota of
visitors from all over the country coming to stay in the caravans. Bonfire
Night is only a month away, and I've already seen a poster for a brand new 'fun
family fireworks' display that I'm planning to drag the clan to. The NFL is on
every Sunday, I can make some nice soups and I can transfer my BBQ-loving
tendencies onto my roast-loving tendencies and still enjoy cooking meat. Soon I
will have Sundays off, so I'll have proper weekends again, and we're planning
to do some little trips away on those weekends to really take advantage. The
lawn will stop growing, there's no chance of sunburn, and there's nothing to
stop me going in the sea as I have a decent wetsuit.
See, it's not all bad...
