I went on holiday mid September for four weeks so pretty much all of September (and the preceding months too) was taken up in planning for the holiday, packing and laundry. Also, because I was trying to save up all my money for holiday spends, I spent a lot of time at home, rather than going out. I did a LOT of knitting!
(I've done a lot more since and managed to finish five or six Christmas presents while on holiday!)
I did try and do some walking in advance of the holiday - especially as I had new boots to wear in and had probably left it a bit too late!
The autumn colours were starting to kick in before I left - although the weather has been strange over the past month - in fact, yesterday, it got up to 26 degrees - I haven't needed to turn my heating on yet which is a good thing.
I had a bit of a tidy up in the spare room and have set up a sewing space - still a work in progress at the moment, but here's a sneak peak.
This old boy has done me proud on holiday - we walked almost ninety miles of Cumbria Coast Path - about half of what we needed to. But we did probably as many miles again on Lake District walks and staying locally to our base at Grange over Sands. I couldn't ask for a better companion or best friend.
