Mr and I went out for a spot of lunch earlier on and spied another downed tree, though this one decided destroying a car wasn't quite dramatic enough and so took out an entire house.

We also spotted this emoticon pumpkin.

What with it being Halloween, the streets were filled with small children clutching bags full of sweets, one exclaiming as he walked past me 'I love trick or treating!'. It seems that it's not only houses that get visited here, but shops too. As we picked up some coffee, a trail of children, none of whom were in costume or looking especially joyful, walked in, plastic bags aloft. Among the group was a fully grown women, also baring a bag full of sweets, 'I got kids' was her explanation to the slightly confused barista, who reluctantly dropped a couple of sweets in her bag. When they'd left she said that she didn't really understand trick or treating without costumes, I have to agree… It just kinda seems like authorised begging. There were a hella lot of adorable wee things who'd made an effort though. Princesses, vampires, dragons and superheroes were everywhere.

None quite matched up to this though. Best dress ever. GOBAMA!
