Happy Summerween!

Today is Summerween.

Summerween is celebrated annually on the 22nd June. 

The quirky event is also on the second to last Friday of the month of June. So you get two bites of the cherry (or should that be watermelon) to celebrate it.

Summerween Eve (again)!

Halloween 2021 is the first time in 666 years that Halloween falls on Friday the 13th

Keep following the brown signs

A blog post about brown tourist signs.

I was pleased to hear that my fellow blogger, 'dull' person and fan of the quirky Amanda from Follow The Brown Signs was back in action after a hiatus.

We've always been interested in straying off the beaten path and even before we found out about Follow The Brown Signs we would look for and find different things to see and do while out and about on our travels.

Finding out about Amanda's mission and website in 2011 gave us even more ideas as well as another outlet for us to share tips and stuff from our own quest.

Just last week I spotted a brown sign, followed it and found a Pumpkin Garden!

Check out the Follow The Brown Signs website for more information and inspiration.

Here's a selection of brown tourist signs from our adventures.

Typically it's a very rainy and grey day here in Cheadle Hulme. Let's hope we get some sunny summer weather on Monday.

I'm a big fan of Halloween. It'll be an interesting one this year for sure!

There are now only 3 days to Halloween!

Unfortunately there wasn't enough room in her luggage to bring any of the great stuff back.

Check out my blog post about Halloween-themed minigolf courses and events to see what's happening.

Our friends at A Couple of Putts created the hashtag #Puttober to share all things Halloweeney at miniature golf courses.

Unfortunately there wasn't enough room in her luggage to bring any of the wonderful decorations back to decorate our house with.
