Autumn

I didn't really feel like updating to be honest. But I'm sat here watching The X Factor, so figured I could do this at the same time.. My mind's not really in it at the moment to be honest. We've had some sad family news yesterday & I can't really think about anything else.

This is just a quick, half-hearted post to be honest - I do apologise. Yet again. I know. I'm crap. And that's why I'm losing followers too! Oops. Oh well. On the flip side though, hi to my newer followers - my blog will at some point be a bit better, hopefully!

Right, I said in my last post that I'd been to Blackpool last week & spent a day in the Lake District? Well here's a few pics from that day :)





I took these pictures in Grasmere (where William Wordsworth is buried, fact fans!)

I'm loving these autumnal colours at the moment, & those first couple of pics sum them up for me really - I am being inspired by those colours whilst shopping (so have obviously got LOTS of things to show you at some point..!)

These next pics were taken when we were on a boat cruise across Lake Windermere - it was such a gorgeous day. We were so lucky :)







So there's just a few I thought I'd share with you :)

Halloween. Yeah. Don't really do Halloween in my house. Never have! We do actually have plans for tomorrow night though, but totally un-Halloween related! We've got tickets to see Dara O'Briain, which we've been really looking forward to. Not sure that anyone's really in the mood anymore, but hopefully it'll be good..

I'm going to leave this there - hope everyone's good.

Take care,

Dx

  8. I love seeing photographs like these, I have never been to the Lake District but desperatly really want to go, hopefully sometime in the next year.

    Hope you are okay, my follower numbers always seem to go up and down like snakes and ladders, but really it doesn't bother me too much, if somebody doesn't want to read anymore then fine!

    Can't wait to hear about those new purchases x

  19. Don't feel bad! I was feeling guilty about not updating for months but then I thought blogging should be fun! We shouldn't feel pressured to do it or worry about losing readers....I'm pretty sure I only have a handful left!

    Hope things begin to look up for you soon x
