Happy Halloween Week from the Hearth and Soul Link Party, where this week I’m featuring Seasonal Recipes and More! It’s feeling much more like fall here in the UK. Our clocks went back an hour yesterday so between earlier sunsets and cooler weather, it’s definitely time to get cosy.
Blog posts old and new, about anything that feeds the soul, are welcome here at Hearth and Soul. This includes – but is not limited to – family, home, recipes, decorating, crafts, DIY, travel, organisation, book reviews, the arts and self improvement.
What’s happening in your corner of the world? I love hearing from you all!
We’ve been enjoying lovely visits from family and friends over the last few days, so I’m a tiny bit behind with sharing from last week’s party. I’ve scheduled lots of things from it for the week ahead. So, if your post doesn’t appear to have been commented on or shared in some form or other on social media yet, it should hopefully happen soon. I always share and interact with as many posts as I possibly can.

Are you wearing the wrong size bra? Professional lingerie fitters report that a large proportion of women are.
I’ve been lucky enough to have access to some of the best lingerie fitters in the world, and I have tips from the experts to help you learn How To Find a Bra That Fits Perfectly.
On the food front, I’m sharing lots of my favourite seasonal recipes for fall bakes.
My Spiced Banana Nut Loaf with Ginger Glaze is a flavourful twist on traditional Banana Bread everyone will love.
My late Mom’s Old-Fashioned Jam Muffins are hearty, jam spiked muffins with the goodness of whole wheat flour. Don’t miss the easy, oh so delicious recipe!
And if you are a fan of Downton Abbey, I’m pleased to report that filming for the movie is well underway! Join me on a virtual visit to Highclere Castle, the Real Downton Abbey. I visited a couple of years ago and was granted permission to share some official photographs from this beautiful location. The movie is due to be released in September 2019.
Thank you so much to everyone who visited and shared last week!

Your banana loaf looks amazing, April!
This week I’m linking up the homemade version of an old store-bought favorite–Easy Gluten-Free Parmesan Noodles–and a seasonal gluten-free favorite–Easy Pumpkin Squares. Obviously, I love “easy”!
Thanks so much for hosting!

Oh wow, how exciting, Michele! I hope all is finished on time and that you love it – and that it’s not too stressful in the meantime 🙂

Oh, our clocks will go back an hour this Sunday.

Ours went back last week, but we will be in the US this weekend, so I guess that means I get two extra hours 😉 Thank you for visiting and sharing. Hope your week is lovely too!
