I just love this time of year, don’t you. The air is crisp and cool and it just feels good to get outdoors and into the countryside. With Halloween coming up soon what better way to get involved by visiting your local Pumpkin Patch. We went to our first Pumpkin Patch last year as it was a good alternative to the scary Halloween activities, and more suitable for the little ones. Dress them up too, as there will definitely be some great opportunities for some cute, I mean spooky photos. Don’t forget your wellies as it could get very muddy! Regardless of the weather, just wrap up and get on with it (as we do! )
