Halloween can be stressful for your pets. During firework season keep your pet indoors at home with you. Signs of stress in dogs include panting, barking, whining, pacing around. dogstrust.org.uk/dog-advice/…

Take extra care driving on wet roads - your tyres will have less grip on the road Watch out for fallen trees across the road network Slow down, expect the unexpected Allow extra time, anticipate debris as you travel. #ExpectTheUnexpected @deptinfra @daera_ni
