Living Arrows – 43/52 (2020)

This October has been far from the usual easy-going month that we typically all relish each year. There were no hilarious gross-out baking fails, costume disasters and very, VERY few Halloween crafts because our renovations have overrun.

I was expecting a total Halloween wash out yesterday. But instead, we happily feasted on a takeaway and snuggled up for Strictly Dancing, before virtual ‘Trick or Treating’ until midnight on Animal Crossing! *Mr Button would like me to confirm that he absolutely did not take part in any Animal Crossing shenanigans. Unlike myself and Little Button hehe!

*Getting things ready for the big night in!

In amongst the chaos and awkwardness of dealing with the renovation noise and mess, there has been one thing that’s been consistent. The joy of being whisked away on jolly adventures through the pages of well loved books. The perfect remedy for soothing the wobbles away.

When I look at this photo, I can’t help but feel full of love and a little bit of de ja vu, as Little Button, quite on her own accord, decided to slip off into the wonderful world of Winnie-the-Pooh. Just simply for the pure joy of it.
