All Hallow's Eve

 Blessings to all my lovely followers. The end of the Summer and the start of the Pagan new year.

If you reach out to your dear departed and ancestors at midnight keep a lightness of heart and also perhaps your sense of humour.

Blooming Eck It's Been Busy

 Superb bash a few weeks ago put on by Chatsworth for all their staff and volunteers, over 1100 folk. What a night we had, the champagne flowed, the food was fab and the company and venue were top notch. We had a DJ and some live music under a starry sky huge marquee, which was placed next to a river on the estate looking onto a beautifully lit Chatsworth House, sensational. I danced and danced, great fun.

This is me just before we went inside, but already with a lovely cold glass of fizz. Setting the tone.

Following weekend I went to the Lake District to meet up with The Beatrix Potter Society. A long weekend choc full of lovely activities. I'm delighted to have made some new friends, amongst the members. People had travelled from Japan, Canada, America and of course from the four corners of the UK.

I've also been making my own candles and drying some of my garden flowers.

And I have been making plans for my Hand Made Christmas. More of that to come .........
