Pumpkin picking has turned into a tradition for me, it is something I MUST DO every single year. I think it is such a mark of Autumn and all the festivities to come later in the year, and popping down to the patch with ya autumn jumper and boots symbolises happiness.
We took a drive to the patch and popped in the (cayoot) farm shop, picked up our barrow to took to the patch, much like a duck to water.
The place we went was White House Farm, just on the outskirts of Norwich. It is full of quirky signs, adorable shops, and lovely friendly people, radiating cosy, family vibes. It has fresh produce outside and a cafe indoors, where you can enjoy a lush lunch or a simple hot chocolate. You can click here if you want to visit their website
Overall, pumpkin picking is such a wonderfully enjoyable experience, and I picked many a pumpkins.
Do you ever visit a pumpkin patch over Halloween?

I am not a person who is up for everything and anything and probably never will be. I'm naturally anxious, but that's ok.
BUT, what is not ok is turning down every experience or trip I could go on. Even just popping down to the shop or walking my dog with my mum I would find a way to back out of. I now know and realise how limiting this is/was on my life.
It stopped me from developing as a person, and developing friendships, but most importantly, hid me away from ~quite often~ very beautiful world.
So, any opportunity or chance I get to visit somewhere, I'm going to say yes, instead of no straight away. I can have times where I say no but I need to think about it. I will no longer limit myself so much.

Yesterday I did something vvvv daring for me. I walked to the train station, bought a ticket and got on the train all by myself, meeting my friend a couple of stops down the line.. This was a huge leap for me, making me realise I can and will overcome my anxieties. I am stronger than the thoughts telling me I'm not. I ended up having a wonderful day full of sunshine, laughter and tea.
I was so proud of myself.
I want that pride, not the guilt I get when I cancel my plans last minute. Although I'm messing up other peoples plans I'm letting my anxiety win, and it cannot. This is a race only I can win. There will be trips along the way, where anxiety inches ahead of me, but in the long run, I will race ahead and cross the finish line first.
This is why I'm saying yes more

Bath has always been a place I’ve longed to visit, the gorg sand coloured buildings, lots of shops -!!-, the baths themselves and obvs the photo opportunities. So when we were visiting my grandparents in the West Country we seized our moment to visit Bath.

I lovee watching and reading Christmas gift guides so much and last night when I went to wrap upsome presents I had a sudden thought that I could do my own gift guide, so waited till the morningso I could snap some photos for my very own gift guide

As I didn't have a massive array of gifts specifically for male or female I thought I'd mix it all together.

Heart pendant necklace - £14
The first thing I have on my gift guide is this delicate rose gold heart necklace from Lisa Angel.This necklace is so gorgeous and could be paired with anything and look so classy.

It is so nearly December and I am SO excited. I thought as it is my second Christmas of blogging, I would go full out. I will try to blog more often.
Christmas films are definitely one of the most exciting things ever. I thought i'd share my favessss.
1. Home Alone - I watched this for the first time earlier this month - I know, shock horror, I had never seen it before, and to be honest, I don't know how I hadn't seen it before - I LOVEDDD it so much. I laughed all the way through and it was just generally greaaaat.

2. Arthur Christmas - I know I am pulling out all the generic Christmas films, but how can I not mention this? It's amazing. I remember watching it at the cinema, but a fire alarm went off half-way through so there was a slight trauma, but no fire. Definitely recommend though.

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas -  this is not Halloween!!! holy molyyyy, this film!!!!! All I want to say is, if you haven't seen it, watch it now. I've probably watched it about 5 times this year.

4. The Polar Express - the cutest film, laaav it. I could literally watch this on repeat, an amazing, light hearted and happy film. A good'en if you're not a romance or sad film lover.

5. The Grinch - I adore this film, it never fails to make me smile.

I think everyone has seen most of these films but I thought i'd share them anyway because I loove them.
