Happy halloween everyone. We've had a nice weekend wandering around pinner and taking a few photos of the autumn colours - they do look nice this time of year. We also found a bit of time to have a go at some annual pumpkin carving - can you guess which one is mine?

It's been another long stint, but half term has finally arrived. We decided we wanted to do something this half term so had booked a trip to the North Yorkshire seaside. We've managed to fit a fair bit in including a wander around Scarborough a trip to Robin Hood's bay and a jaunt to Filey where we had some fantastic Fish and Chips at First Catch Fish and Chip restaurant! Well worth a visit!
We also took a trip out to Castle Howard near York whilst here and had a good wander around the house and gardens. The weather has been a bit overcast although we have been treated to a little bit of sunshine, but otherwise dry. We also made it to the premier of the latest James Bond film "Spectre" at the local cinema in Scarborough. The film was fantastic and well worth checking out if you havent been yet. There are a few new photos, linked below. Add some comments, let us know what you think!
OK, so since when has it been so hard to find popping corn? Is it really that uncommon to make your own nowadays?
Friday night was film night and no film night would be complete without popcorn! So Friday evening we cracked out the popcorn maker (courtesy of BarclayCard) only to discover we were short of one key ingredient - popping corn. "Easy," I hear you cry, so off we toddled to Tesco's; a big supermarket like that is sure to stock it, right? WRONG! And so the hunt began!
Leaving Tesco's - rather suprised, but not ready to give up - we made our way over to ASDA - again, no luck. Next stop, Sainsbury's, whose staff kindly joined us in the hunt convinced they stocked it, ALAS they were as suprised as us (possibly more so) as our suprise was begining to fade a little by now. Keen to help, Sainsburys pointed us in the direction of Sainsbury's Local (AKA Jacksons) (funny that) - they too were a no. We took a long shot at ALDI - again, nothing.
Feeling beat, we dropped by at ASDA number 2 in Hyson Green to buy some of the ready made stuff - we took one last wander down a dried products aisle and there it was!! Woohoo a grand old price of £0.68 (and £5 worth of petrol looping the city, probably)!
That's all folks, moaning over - ASDA Hyson Green you are the winner!!
Just a short one, for all those visitors that have been trying desperately to add comments to photos. I didn't realise it was broken, but nevertheless it is now fixed. So comment away!
