Autumnal collection, including little owl feather, seedheads & various lovely things that fell off trees.
Zoom in to the details if you’re feeling stressed-the patterns in nature have been shown to help our brains relax🪶:

That many of us who were child bookworms were merely going for the most convenient form of escapism, and have no moral superiority over todays kids who are doing the same thing.

Can anyone one help me track down a paper that quantifies the benefit of spending £1 in a local business over a big or multinational in the UK?
I read something that showed (ish) local spend =£5 to local economy & supermarket=40p but I can't find the source

Mixing our celebration preparations up a bit today - pumpkins and spooky maize maze this morning, baking the Christmas cake this afternoon.

A field with orange pumpkins and a giant spider made out of a black wrapped silage bale. The sky is misty and murky.

Fruit cake mix in a square cake tin. A large orange bowl in the background.

“Nah, all good. I’ve seen a camel.”

“Recently, right?”

A 15th century painting of a camel that is wildly off model.

Mr Laos. Just when you though this year was a bit quiet on the insanely huge, bedazzled, symbolic costumes along comes Mr Laos and blows everyone else out of the water. This is insane, but it's also *so* good.

Mr Colombia is the first of our LOOK AT MY TITS contestants, but very much not the last. He looks slightly annoyed, but I cannot fault the combination of the maximum amount of skin on show but also the maximum amount of costume.

At the end of the summer season Cheltenham Lido drains down the pool and re-fills for winter cold water swimming. But before that, they open it to dogs for the weekend. It's Mabel's favourite day of the year.
