On October 19th, my lovely friend Ross Mountney wrote a post about keeping ourselves cheery during the darker months. She then asked if anyone had any other ideas for keeping the dark weather grumps at bay. Of course we do. However, they are our own special brand. We hope they raise a smile, if not, please complain to the government, not us, as they are to blame for a lot.
Beauty treatments are a must
It’s imperative that you keep your hands looking good during the colder months.
Always dress your best
People visit more during the dark nights so make sure that you are always ready to receive visitors and make an impression.
Keep your home looking cheery and welcoming
A well thought out display can transform a room.
Read some uplifting literature
A light read will help you to sleep.
Get out to new and interesting places
Graveyards offer stimulating finds like this tree stump bursting with toadstools.
Have a hound of a time
Find a suitable friend to keep you happy.

Loving it! And your new furry friend. What a great idea. I also love to disembowel pumpkins (pretending they’re former nasty colleagues or bosses) and then turn their flesh into something scrumptious even vampires wouldn’t say “no” to.
Hello Maria, you are soooooooooooooooooooooo wicked but I love it. Keep up the good work.
Like the new “uncluttered” look of your blog. I noticed that I get far more traffic since I changed my theme to “Harmonic”, which has amazing capabilities and is free. I think it might possibly suit you, too.
Ha Ha – didn’t know I’d done a new look. What is Harmonic?
In your admin area, click on appearances. The themes or templates for WordPress are listed there. Mine’s called “Harmonic”. Your blog used to have a Loonylit background, now it’s just white, that’s what I meant.
Absolutely totally love it! Giggling my socks off here – shall return every time I get the grumps!! x
Well, it was inspired by you so I am extra glad that you enjoyed it.
Love this post ! The photos are fabulous! 🙂
Thank you Sammi. It’s true what they say that a picture paints a thousand words.
Absolutely love Halloween brings back fond childhood memories in England.
Me too but it passes so quickly.
