Autumn is well and truly here, and that means one thing in our house… It’s spooky decor and pumpkin-picking time! Whether you’re after the perfect carving pumpkin, a mini decorative one for your doorstep, or just a fun family day out, this guide to pumpkin picking in Lincolnshire will have something perfect for you.
My reading and listening during September increased ever so slightly in comparison to August. The boys went back to school, so I had more time for audiobooks without distractions. I’m hoping I’ll manage to keep up with this again in October, although I do need to increase it a little for the rest of the year to complete my reading challenge!
My garden has had a bit of a different look to it this year. I love to spend time in the back garden, watching the wildlife and admiring everything come to life. I’ve really struggled this year, though, due to fatigue and the aches and pains that come with it. Even so, it’s been full of colour, charm, and life – all in a low maintenance garden I could actually manage!
My reading and listening during August matched July due to it being the summer holidays and my fatigue being even worse with the boys being at home. We also had our annual summer holiday so I didn’t read or listen much – I was either exploring or sleeping!
My reading (and listening) has slowed down this month and I read less than in June – mostly due to the numerous end-of-term activities, and the kids finishing school for the summer! I did manage five books, though, with three of those being for my book clubs, so I didn’t read much of my own choosing!
