The scary side to Halloween

It’s somehow that time of the year already, theres a crispness in the air, a darkening of the nights and the leaves are turning that gorgeous auburn colour. Autumn is finally here.

Britain in Bloom!

Spring time is my favourite time of the year, out goes the winter blues, weather and cold and in arrives the glorious show of colour, warmth and new beginnings. And what better way to welcome the season than a visit to the Cotswold’s Spring Show at the Malvern Three Counties Show Ground.
