September #TBCSmiles 61 Months.

It's time for this month's smiles and I imagine anyone with kids is probably really glad it's the weekend. Back to school is hard work and they'll have been shattered by Friday. We had lots of photos of first day front doors - along with an equal number of scared or excited looking children. I hope that it's going well for them so far.

We also had lots of photos of your Summer holidays, and just about everyone sorry that it was ending. It's only about 3 months until Christmas and Autumn is a really beautiful month, if that helps...

We did also have World Suicide Prevention Day and I wrote a post especially. The reason I started collecting our smiles was because we lost someone to suicide. Every smile is a win. It reminds us we can still be happy, and that is the reason we carry on. When you boil it down, 'happy' is all that matters. Smiles are free and contagious, and sometimes you have to look out for them, but they are always there...

Huge thank you to everyone who shared their smiles this month - as ever I had about 56 photos picked out for the collage and then forced one of my family members to take responsibility for choosing 9. You can find them all, and add in your own smiles, by using the hashtag #TBCSmiles on Instagram. ANYONE can join in, and we don't even care if it's a bit blurry or the top of your head is chopped off. Just as long as it has a smile...


These smiles were provided by the following instagrammers:


Here at The Brick Castle we made plenty of our own smiles this month too, with some great trips out and reviews, including the Blackburn Paw Patrol Brick Trail, Just So Festival, Capocci's Pop-Up Restaurant and a brilliant FREE visit with friends to East Lancs Railway's Transport Museum in Bury...
