Hello Beastie friends! I hope you all had a spooktacular Hallowe’en! We’ve been busily stitching away here in Beastie Towers, so it’s lucky for you that Paddy and Plunkett have been in touch… Otherwise you would have been treated to a series of pictures of me at my craft table today. After their recent adventures in the most northerly parts of Northern Ireland, the lads tell me that they have been taking advantage of the latest lockdown and having a quiet October at home.
Unfortunately, they have also been spending quite a lot of time on the internet, and they are now suffering from the dreaded FOMO (fear of missing out).
“Awww, Plunkett! Look at all the fun they’re having down in Dublin! I want to go out and collect colourful leaves in the park with Autumn Beastie!”
Like a lot of humans, Paddy is feeling the pinch of these antisocial times. But isn’t it lucky that Plunkett has an answer for everything?
“I know where we can find some colourful leaves. Come on, Paddy!”
“Taaa-DAAAAAAH!”
Paddy is unimpressed.
“Huh. Bit green, aren’t they?”
“Only for the moment, Paddy. For this to work, we’ll need to climb the tree where these came from…”
“… And wait for a bit. That’s it, straight ahead.”
Let’s get climbing! And look, it seems that Plunkett is not wrong…
… As the leaves had turned vibrant red before he’d even finished climbing up to where Paddy was sitting among the branches!
“How’s that for Autumn colour, Paddy? I think our work here is done!”
And with that, Plunkett started to clamber back down to ground level.
It’s a pretty spectacular display of colour though, isn’t it?
And now Paddy can scoop up giant pawfuls of red leaves, and give Autumn Beasties everywhere a run for their money. Nice hat, Paddy!
I still haven’t figured out why Beasties love Autumn leaves so much, but hey, at least they’re happy!
And I know we’re into a new month now, but did you have a colourful October? Be sure to share your many-hued Fall (or Spring) stories with us in the comments!
You don’t see one of these guys very often – it’s 
Lovely!

Cheers lads! This is only a small park though, so it was only a matter of time before their path crossed Autumn Beastie’s. Fortunately, Beasties aren’t having to do social distancing like the rest of us.
Hey there 
And more snug knitwear.
Fall Fashion Show!
And just as all the Beasties were preparing to go their separate ways…
… Up pops 
How about you? Are you enjoying being out and about, kicking through piles of fallen leaves? Or is your Fall experience more of the hot-chocolate-by-a-roaring-fire variety? Be sure to tell us all about it in the comments!

It’s our old buddy 
“Ooooh, check this out!”
It’s almost possible for Beasties to get lost in among all that colour. Can you spot them?
The treetop walkway is really spectacular… But the boys really had to hold on tight! It was a little breezy up there!
“Look, it’s the Temperate House! It was closed 
“Oh yeah! Look at that!”
Then…
Alright, time to get back to the studio! We’re heading to the
