All the fun of the fair with added spoooky thrills - our favourite Halloween half term day out! in

27/10/2026

Had a really fun night at Trattoria No 4 in Braunto village last night. Founded by the owner of the also excellent The Siam Bistro, it serves top notch pasta, pizza and cocktails with friendly service and a chic, sophisticated atmosphere.

We ate squid and gambas served with delicious garlic (and beetroot!) sauce; delicious olives, puttanesca pasta with a rich peppery sauce and chicken in Gorgonzola, plus some fine Italian wines.

7 year old was very happy with pizza and a Camilo dessert, while I enjoyed a (decaf!) affogato with fine Italian gelato and a liqueur that meant I slept well last night, while he enjoyed his favourite pudding done to perfection- Tiramisu!

Ooh my Paint-A-Pot pots came back! Quite happy with how these turned out, and a great way to spend a raining morning in Braunton. Of course the sun’s out now. It never lasts for long! 😎

It’s taken us too long to find and be fed legit the best roast I have had all millennium (barring my OH’s Christmas dinner!)

We walked about half an hour, or 1.5 miles past , Braunton, where we had a little sharpener on the way home, before stumbling back to . Not been so stuffed since Christmas 2017.

Well worth the blustery walk. Cobwebs well and truly blown away. 🕸️

The weather might be frightful, but we found lots of ways to keep busy and stay warm. We finally made it to and had a wonderful time crafting a few painted pottery masterpieces, then off to where it is always suitably seasonal. We enjoyed a spot of lunch then headed home for a cozy afternoon in front of the fire 🍷🔥

Early autum is the best time to make the most of this glorious weather and enjoy the best beaches the UK has to offer. With the sea warm as frothy coffee this time of year, enjoy the Indian summer in a fully equipped cosy cottage that sleeps up to seven plus a dog!

Last few jobs completed! Excellent Dandelion harvest, and a bumper crop of rosemary.

I’ve already made my dandelion liver tonic to take home for the run up to Christmas (recipe on my public profile Reprobate Mum)

And the rosemary is for our (not vegetarian) rosemary cashew nuts (you need to roast them with sea salt, Freja Bone Broth, and blitzed rosemary powder. They are 👌

Not such a bumper apple crop this year, but there’s time and it’s definitely raining
today! Now off to Quince Honey Farm for a last meal and to stock up on honey (natch!) and their fabulous honey hand cream!

One of those days where it all went right! bay was breezy but bright and warm. After kites we went body boarding in the frothy coffee churn of the Atlantic which even little lyra finally learned to love. We followed up with a sunny game of crazy golf, then home for a haircut (I got a fringe!) and sausages and mash in before I’d even had a chance to get a picture of it. Lovely memories.

I haven’t attempted the walk to since I was pregnant with this one 8 years ago. If you scroll hard enough you’ll see me 7 months pregnant puffing up the hill. Look how far we’ve come (and you will get a taste of what the past 7 years have been like with this little bag of crazy 💕
