For those of you who don’t live in the 113 degree, burning hot southern parts of California… this may not be as exciting to you as it is to me, but it is exciting either way! I have kept two tiny kids indoors and out of the hot sun while my husband has been busy working for weeks now and I am so excited to finally be able to escape for date nights with him and do all the romantic fall-things together.

Visit a pumpkin patch, do some pumpkin carving & bake the pumpkin seeds
Is it even fall if you don’t get a Pumpkin Spice Latte or Hazelnut Macchiato?

Hello everyone!
The London meetups outdoors in a park have been going well, but I’m not willing to bet on British weather in October.
The good news is that our old venue is open again for this type of activity.
Pandemic rules in England now allow us to meet up without restriction, although we still need to be sensible. So, here we go:
16th October, 1pm, Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, SE1 8XX.
The venue has step free access and accessible toilets. The accessibility map is here.
We will be on Level 2 (the upper levels are closed to non-ticket-holders), but I don’t know exactly where on the floor. It will depend on where we can find a table. I will have my plush Chthulu which looks like this:

Please bring your masks/exemption lanyards, and obey any rules posted in the venue.
The food market outside (side opposite the river) is pretty good for all sorts of requirements, and you can also bring food from home, or there are lots of cafes on the riverfront.
Please email me at the below to say you’re coming.
No RSVPs via any other method accepted – e.g. no text messages, no comments here, no facebook likes, etc. Please make sure you email me.
Please make sure you also update me if you RSVP yes but later can’t come.
Other things to bear in mind:
I will cancel this meetup if government guidance changes, so keep an eye on this space.
