Welcome back, dear viewers, to a house filled with frights and delights!
Tonight, we’re rewinding the clock and celebrating Halloween the old-fashioned way — with a touch of whimsy, a pinch of thrift, and a hearty dose of sustainability. ✨
In this episode, I’m hosting A Very Vintage Halloween Soirée — think those cosy, vintage Halloween illustrations, flickering candlelight, homemade treats, and decorations that don’t cost the earth (or end up in landfill).
We’ll be:
🕯️ Decorating the home with timeless, reusable pieces (pumpkin bunting, paper pumpkins & retro trinkets)
🎃 Carving a pumpkin — and using every single part sustainably!
🥚 Making delightfully devilish eggs to go with our spooky-named and retro snack theme.
🍎 Setting up classic, budget-friendly games (apple bobbing, spooky Cluedo, even a dolls house mystery!)
🕰️ Hosting “Mystery at Spellman Manor” — a homemade parlour game inspired by vintage Halloween broadcasts - 👻 Great idea for kids! 👻
There’s just something quietly rebellious about stepping away from modern Halloween excess and creating something simple, nostalgic, and rather enchanted instead. So pop the kettle on, light your favourite candle, and join me as we celebrate a vintage-inspired Halloween, that's just that little bit kitsch!

![I Spent 72 Hours as a 1940s Land Girl 🚜 | My Biggest Historical Challenge Yet
Okay my lovelies, this ones a big un.
Step back in time with me as I take on my biggest historical challenge yet: spending 72 hours as a 1940s Land Girl! 🌾✨
Join me from the moment I spot a Land Girl poster in a quaint post office shop window, to joining the register, receiving my uniform, and travelling by steam train—vintage suitcases in tow— to what feels like another word entirely, the Cutthorpe Creamery.
For three days, I lived and worked on the farm, joining the amazing farmer, Andrew, for knee-scuffing adventures of muddy wellies (or gum boots), fresh air, early mornings, and hard graft. From morning milking, to Land Girl life (and diet), and tentative tractor driving, I gain a tiny glimpse into the bravery and resilience of the women who served their country on the home front. A sacrifice especially poignant at Christmas.
A huge thank you to the Cutthorpe Creamery [https://cutthorpecreamery.co.uk/] and Andrew, who patiently guided this city girl through the whirlwind that is farm life , teaching me how essential—and often underappreciated—farmers truly are.
This challenge was exhilarating, emotional, and unforgettable. Watch as I dive headfirst into history, get a taste of wartime life, and discover a newfound respect for the women and farmers who kept the nation fed.
