floating in the clouds

Oh October, I have been excitedly awaiting your appearance. The leaves are coming down, it's been raining non stop, it's gloomy by midday and conkers are scattering the parks. Many pumpkin spiced lattes have been drunk and the jumpers have been dragged out from hibernation. It is well, and truly, autumn. I'm sat in the bar my boyfriend works in, with a cup of tea in hand, a orange warm glow from the lights inside, and the bitter, dull, rainy weather is blustering away outside. It's the first of October, although this will be published on the second, I am sat reflecting on September, the goals I made, and my new goals for this month. I'd written a 'hello September' post last month where I discussed some goals I'd like to achieve over the four weeks, today I'm going to review them and set some new ones for the month of October, which is going to be an exciting, busy month. Last month I signed up to a little vegan programme, and for the most ...

Me and my boyfriend made friends earlier this year with another couple who really love the film IT, with the buildup of the new film being released this year, we too got excited about it and decided to give it a watch. Me and J aren't big horror film fanatics, I like to watch a few come this time of year just to feel spooky and cosy, but finding a good horror film is so hard because I find they generally lack strong storylines, overuse gore to try and scare audiences, and use build ups as their main scare feature that then let's me down come the end when the reality of the film isn't actually that scary. After watching the first IT I felt that it had really captured what a good horror movie should be, it was paced very well, had a really good build up of scary moments and the end scene was incredible. I loved the fact that the characters never seemed to become "heroes" it felt very realistic with the way the group dealt with Pennywise instead of them suddenly k...

As it is now well into September, officially spooky season, officially my cosy, favourite season. It's time for cosy posts again. I was having a conversation with my boyfriend about how excited we are to be getting the cinnamon candles out and fluffy pjs and spooky movies and I started planning out all our cute little 'fall dates' I want us to go on, then I figured, as I love lists so much, and I love autumn blog posts so much, I should write up all my plans and 'bucket list' for autumn. I know seasonal bucket lists are such a 2012 thing to do but I still love them and I love anything autumn/Christmas related and I will forever write lists till the day I die. So here are some things I'm planning to do this Autumn. - Go to a corn maze. I don't live to far from Wistow maze and I've wanted to go for years but never got round to it. This year I'm hoping to make sure I go with J as a cute little date. - Go cinema for a horror movie. The plan wa...

As much as I am a summer girl, I love the warm weather, I love the beach and the sea and not feeling cold every time I leave the house -there's just something about autumn/winter. I'm always so excited to start wearing baggy sweaters, woolly jumpers, boots, and anything burgundy, whilst having all the pumpkin spiced lattes, cinnamon candles and dark evenings with endless movies. Or mostly I just like collecting conkers and walking on crunchy leaves, and having my halloween playlist on repeat but there we are. September for me, because it's the back to school era, it feels like a (somewhat overdue) mid-year fresh start, and after my last post and my plan to start anew, I was just itching to have a little September goals, 'welcome to the new season' kind of post. So here is a little list of my personal goals I want to achieve this September: - I signed up this month to a month long vegan challenge. I'm new to trying out a vegan lifestyle but have been cut...
