'If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your house which you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful'

William Morris

that wishes came true as there is so much sorrow and fear; if we had a wish each, we could wish it all away.

It may seem a little strange to begin with an end, the end of Summer but it's what we're all talking about as we search through piles of clothes to find a jumper, try to remember how to turn on the central heating and have a refresher course in how dark nights can be!

Sometimes it's nice (if a little sad) to remember those all too few warm days when butterflies danced amongst the flowers and gorged themselves on nectar. The days when puss cats lounged lazily and worshipped the sun in a way no other creature seems to! The warm, long days when bunnies raced and binkied around, leaping in several directions at once in their joy. When washing dries and smells divine and bare arms and feet are de rigour!

Looking ahead, it's easy to feel bleak. However, nursery foods, snuggly fabrics, warm socks and all too soon twinkling fairy lights will help us through the dark and cold months.

As a matter of fact I believe in fairylights all year round! They look so pretty draped round a fireplace and are especially beautiful when placed near a mirror as any light is.

'30 days has September'

Autumn is upon us.
