Pumpkin Picking | prettylittlewriter

It's a well known fact to those of you who read my blog, that I am incredibly obsessed with all things Autumn and Halloween. So as we get ever so closer to all hallows-eve, I thought it time I grab some pumpkins ready for the festive season! I have heard many people mention pick-your-own fruit and vegetable farms, but I wasn't sure whether there were any in my local area. With the help of good 'ol Google, I discovered Darts Farm, which is actually a very popular place down here in Sunny Devon! However, I wasn't aware you could PYO here, until now!
I wasn't sure what to expect when we first arrived; I'd assumed there wouldn't be much selection left as the celebration of Halloween is becoming ever-so popular now over here in the UK. However, there were plenty to choose from, and I managed to pick some pretty impressive pumpkins!
Have you been pumpkin picking? If not, I really recommend it, it's such a fun experience, finding the diamonds in amongst the rough and just walking through fields and fields of beautiful nature. It truly is a magical, autumnal experience!

A Walk In The Woods | prettylittlewriter

Having moved from Scunthorpe down to the beautiful countryside of Devon, I thought it was about time I did some exploring of this wonderful county.

I decided to go for a stroll through our local woods and take a few photographs of things I found wonderful or interesting.



The walk to the woods is so pretty, seeing all the different colours and looking out over the houses, it truly is lovely.







I really liked the way the trees form a cover here, and when the leaves have turned a lot more for Autumn, I think this will be a beautiful spot.

 A possible man-made shelter? 


I found where the fairies live!


Spotted this little guy up in one of the trees. He was making a really loud and strange noise, I thought he was a bird at first! Once I got home I did a bit of research and the noise was him warning me to back away from his territory. Sorry little man!





This is the prettiest tree I have ever seen. The colours are absolutely stunning; I still find it hard to believe nature can be this colourful and beautiful.

Going for this walk has made me crave more exploration of this gorgeous county. I cannot wait to find somewhere else to admire!

Finally, the wait is over! Lush have released their Winter product range in all stores!
No more longing to live in London to go to Oxford Street.

I headed over to my local Lush in Exeter this morning and was the first person through the doors! It was like wonderland, so many exciting products to see!
