october



I think I call every season my favourite time of year while living it. (Except for spring, springs are difficult and I have learnt to fear them.) So right now I'm in love with autumn.

The yellow maple leaves like starbursts against the shiny black pavements, red-cheeked apples and approaching Hallowe'en.

(Also, Halloween or Hallowe'en? I was taught the latter spelling and I think I'll stick with it either way. The apostrophe adds a certain flair, does it not?)



In other news, I applied to university today. It all feels very grown up and surreal and I'm only beginning to understand what I've got myself into.

  2. I've only ever seen it spelled "Halloween," but you're right about the apostrophe adding flair. How exotic! haha

  3. I think the apostrophe is a remnant of Hallowe'en being the abbreviation of All Hallow's Eve. It may be slightly outdated by now, or at least outside of the UK. :)
