Happy September! We know Autumn doesn't officially start for another few weeks, but with the kids back at school, the leaves beginning to fall and pumpkins popping up in shops everywhere (eek!) we just couldn't wait any longer to show you the first signs of the season at Pretty Odd HQ!
With a little over a week to go, party or no party, big or small, we hope these tips can help you to slow down and enjoy some of what the season has to offer! Perhaps there are a few ideas here that you can do together, with your fellow 'kindred spirits!'
Hello everybody! We hope you had a lovely Summer and are ready to invite the new Season in! (The best one in our opinion!) The first day of Autumn was officially 22nd September here in the UK, but between the scattered showers, beating hot sun and gentle Autumn breezes, it’s not been a bad start!
On Day 2 of our Halloween mini break (always Halloween in my heart - I never have a break from it!) we went back down to York - a place we’ve loved forever! I’m pretty confident that heaven looks like Betty’s; we love a good rummage through the antique shops & the place has so much Halloweeny history we had to spend the evening there.
We couldn’t let the best time of year go by without our yearly pilgrimage to some of our favourite haunts! This year we travelled to the place of Dracula (& the occasional goth!) with 2 things on my mind - the Illuminated Abbey event & chips. We had so much fun, managed to bag a lot of free tasty gin samples (dangerous down the 199 steps) & got to spot some of THE best decked out Halloween windows the town had to offer!
Check out our edited* (it was VERY hard to be selective of photos!) photo album of our fave spots & what we got up to!
Thanks!
