It’s spooky time! Get set for Hallowe’en

We love a good festival here at Happydesigner, and Hallowe’en is one GREAT festival. There is so much to enjoy about it – stuff for children to do, great food to eat, games to play, trick or treating (responsibly, of course).  And, wow, there is so much orange around with all those pumpkins. If you…

Seasons of mist… autumn is on its way

It was just over 200 years ago, in 1820, that John Keats published possibly his most famous poem of all, Ode to Autumn.

Not rock, paper, scissors but… trees, paper, books!

Trees. There’s nothing Marmite about trees. We’ve not come across a single person who doesn’t love trees.
