Another month bites the dust! My October was a mix of Autumn excitement followed by two weeks of inevitable coughing and sneezing. I feel like I’m finally through the worst of it now, and just in time for November – which is always a super busy month in Casa Cwtch; four birthdays (including my own!), Nanowrimo, and then the big Christmas build-up. Anyway, despite being a snotty, spluttering mess for most of October, it’s still my favourite time of year 🙂
Fashion
I didn’t shop much in October other than picking up a few Christmas and Birthday presents, but it did finally get cold enough to start wearing my new grey coat from Primark. It was cheap as chips and I love it! I’m looking forward to wrapping up this month and cracking into my massive scarf collection.
TV
I feel like it’s been a quiet month for TV. I finally got around to watching Stranger Things and – sorry! – I love all the 80s pop culture, and I kind of like it… but, I don’t get the hype. I will persevere, but maybe I set my bar too high? Sunny and I started watching Tin Star with Tim Roth; he hated it (he thought it was too dark and couldn’t stand the music), I LOVED it. Other TV shows include Outlander (which continues to please – it’s just so beautiful to look at!), Mr Robot, and of course, GBBO.
Food
As well as making Halloween Doooooonuts, Salted Caramel Macarons, and these Pumpkin Traybake Cakes – I also became obsessed with Cadbury Roses Cake Bars which come in Strawberry Cream (my fave!) and Orange Cream.
Cardiff
I didn’t get out much during October because – like I said – I caught the lurgy, but top of the pops this month of course goes to the new Oliver Bonas store which opened up on The Hayes. I wanted to buy everything! 🙂
What have you been enjoying this October? Have a great weekend everyone! x

I feel you, I did watch all of season 1 of stranger things but ehhh it was alright! I may watch season 2 if I can’t find anything else! I’ve been watching mindhunter which is so good, though the first couple episodes are a bit slow! x

I caught a dreadful cold as well this October and your guide was an absolute godsend.
I’m in the same boat with stranger things, I don’t know if i’ll enjoy it as much as the hype – I think I need to just watch it for myself and make up my own mind!
Hope you have an absolutely wonderful birthday and celebrate with lots of booze! xx

He’s getting very big now – but seems to forget that and still behaves like a tiny puppy!
