Day of the dead day
Well, the clocks have already gone back an hour. And it’s the Day of the Dead, Halloween, or Samhain (take your pick) and Guy Fawkes time of year. This photograph shows quite an impressive shop display I spotted nearby.
Seemonster
We had, what we thought, was this brilliant, great idea. We had wanted to visit the 'Seemonster' installation at Weston-super-mare at some point. How about going to see it on the last day of half-term. It won't be busy, we thought. How wrong we were.

Jingle bells
And here we are again! Another festive season accompanied by rising covid cases and potential restrictions. With some of our extended family away and some feeling not well, we are in familiar, just the two of us, territory.
