I didn’t know how much I liked the American version of Halloween (i.e. more fun than scary) until I moved to England and convinced other mums to get into it. And with how excited E and her friends got last year—more than Christmas, seriously—I felt like I needed to live up to last year and put on a great pre-trick-or-treating party to hype everyone up and show them how Americans celebrate a fun night of playing dress-up and begging for free candy.

Family Fun on the Farms Near London
As I mentioned last year, Americans LOVE the season of fall. And American families spend their October weekends doing Fun Family Fall Activities outside, the main one being a trip to a farm for hay rides, pumpkin patches, and apple picking. I missed getting to do this last year, so this year I suggested we rent a car for a weekend and find a farm near London. We got lucky with a beautiful October Saturday.
Namaste, Love
In my never-ending quest to find a good workout class nearby, and with my heel giving me some trouble for the last several months when I run, I’ve gone back to two things I’ve loved for years but haven’t been doing recently, and it feels good to get back into both.
Life in London Lately (Autumn Edition)
Busy busy busy. Between E being out of school in August and then transitioning to/settling into “big school” in September, I haven’t had much time to write up everything we’ve been up to. We’ve had both sets of our parents plus a friend visit, and we’ve traveled abroad a couple times, so there’s lots to catch up on.
