Autumn is here

Autumn has officially arrived in England.  Yesterday I needed a cardigan & socks cause it was so cold (around 16 C max). Halloween & Christmas Decorations are appearing in the shops & the heating came on this morning. All the leaves are starting to change colour & the weather as usual can't make up it's mind whether to rain or just be windy!

I had gone shopping yesterday, (the change in whether called for new boots) & I ended up buying a Santa decoration as well as. Well, this will make you laugh. There was a little boy shopping with his mum but he wasn't being very good. You know, he was moaning & pretending to cry & all that.... Then I walked right pass him with this Santa in my hand & he stopped crying immediately. You could see that he thought "oops... if I carry on, no presents from Santa".  I had to try hard to keep a straight face but it was so funny.

I normally buy more traditional looking decorations but really loved the modern/alternative look that he has. Also my autumn fireplace display is finished so here are some photos.












Hope you all have a lovely weekend :)

    Hiya Lily,
    What a cute story about the little boy. Your Santa is so adorable. Love his colors and his cotton ball beard. Makes me want to give it a pull! Your Fall decorations look lovely. I guess its becoming hot cocoa time for you know.
    Have a wonderful weekend! :)

    I absolutely love the santa! You did a great job decorating around your fireplace. Do you have rocks in there? Is it gas or wood burning? I bet it looks so wonderful with all of the candles burning.
