Getting ready for Spooky season! 🎃
A smiling man with a beard and shaved head takes a selfie under a wooden canopy. He’s wearing a light beige overshirt and a mauve T-shirt. A smiling man with glasses stands outdoors in a car park, holding a cardboard box filled with groceries and fresh herbs. The sky behind him is bright with scattered clouds. A large outdoor pile of bright orange pumpkins in sunlight, with a car park and blue sky in the background. Wooden crates filled with red and green apples displayed in a farm shop, with handwritten chalkboard price signs above them.

This month’s read is a spooky one!

Since I was a kid, I’ve had a strong interest in the paranormal from ghosts to UFOs. You’d always find me in the library, tucked away in the paranormal phenomena section.
Are you team believer or team sceptic?

Found this dramatic chap in a new store at Milsom Place.

Giving major 1980s Greek holiday throwback vibes. Also... is it just me or is he quite fit? That jawline! 💪✨

A year ago, I made a promise to learn Spanish. 365 days later, I’m still showing up — gracias, Duolingo! 🦉🇪🇸

I might be showing my age here, but Batman: The Animated Series (1992) was hands down one of the best animated shows ever produced. Absolute masterpiece.
A stylised animated scene from Batman: The Animated Series showing Batman standing in the centre of a dark city street, his cape flowing behind him. The city skyline glows red and purple in the background, while two shadowy figures in hats frame the foreground, facing him. The atmosphere is moody and noir-inspired.

Brilliant couple of days in Bristol! Pride was incredible - sun shining, amazing atmosphere. Got overwhelming with the heat but totally worth it. Bristol Bear Bar was outstanding - welcoming staff and crowd, perfect end to a long day. #GayBear #BearsOfBlueSky #BearCommunity #BristolPride

Happy Pride! Pride isn't about rainbows it's an act of resistance through courage and joy.

Harvey was an LGBTQ+ activist, one of the first openly gay elected politicians, and commissioned the Pride flag.

Kitt honours that journey. 🐻

Sometimes it’s the small things that mean everything. Finally caught up with my best mate Nia in person, and she surprised me with this gorgeous maneki-neko from Japan. I’m so lucky to be blessed with such beautiful friends. 💕

Morning, you gorgeous lot!

Out for my morning walk and honestly, had to stop and share this view with you. There's something about mornings like this that makes you appreciate being exactly where you are, isn't

What's your favourite way to start the morning? ☀️
