Hello November

I always think of November as the handover month. When leaves are still falling from their branches, animals prepare to hibernate, as the weather can often be relatively mild —almost as if a small thank-you gift—the last of the autumnal sun shines through, carrying the remaining hints of warmth. When a brisk walk brings the first blush to our cheeks, we know the frost is waiting for its annual return, but not just yet! The last of the crunching leaves fills our path as the sun lowers in the sky, and the nights draw closer, the moon filling our evening skies, alive and bright. It's a time of anticipation, of the winter that's just around the corner.

The fires in the hearth, the candles glow; keep warm, be safe, and enjoy November's arms gently wrap around you, as we quietly await winter's snow.
