Back from a couple of days off, most of which was spent still raking up the beautiful if not everlasting blanket of falling leaves, the likes of which always brings back such lovely childhood memories. It\u2019s hard to believe this photo of me was taken nearly 60 years ago! No matter our age, I\u2019m sure we all remember the joy of putting on our wellies and kicking through piles of leaves… of course with the arrival of autumn comes Halloween which has really grown in popularity here in the UK.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

When I was at school Halloween consisted of “apple bobbing\u201d (search it in your browser) and perhaps making a witches hat. However, when our two were younger it had grown (probably due to the film) and they loved getting dressed up with their local friends to go knocking on neighbours doors and then coming home to share out all the goodies amongst each other. It was of course a little different this year, so we did a smaller display and left wrapped treats outside in a dish rather than invite children to the door. It was lovely to hear their excitement as they approached, a touch of near normality for them.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Unfortunately, alongside Halloween came fireworks. Toby now being hard-of-hearing was oblivious to it all, but poor Ellie suffered terribly. She only gets some relief by sitting \u00a0on our laps, wrapped in a blanket, having her ears massaged!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

For all you many Elemis fans out there I hope you have managed to get your pre-orders in already, prior to the official Today’s Special Value (TSV) launch this weekend. It\u2019s truly amazing value as the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream alone would cost more than the whole eight pieces and don’t forget there’s Buy More, Save More, whatever options you decide to go for and… oh yes! Don’t forget the four interest-free instalments (Easy Pays) as well. I made a short, fun video for you – click the link below to order yours or to find out more about the amazing offer \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
