Hello September. Welcome back with your nip in the air and excuse to buy a new pencil case. We love the way you are like an early start to the new year (so we can practice changes before we decide exactly how it’s all going to be different next year). September...

It’s been a pretty good summer in the UK this year. The weather has been warm on the whole. There’s been lots of sunshine and blue skies. It seems like summer has been here for months. However, all good things must come to an end. It’s August....

It’s half-past seven on a Monday evening as I type this. One of my kitties is asleep. The other one is sitting next to me meowing sadly at intervals because the laptop isn’t very exciting to her; a mouse on a stick would be much more fun. I wasn’t...

I know, with all the autumn-themed posts! But it’s one of my favourite times of the year, and it’s so very photogenic (when it’s not pouring with rain – a pluviophile I am definitely not!) It was Maddy who first suggested the idea of a seasonal...

Here in Essex, we’ve started to feel a nip in the air – it’s still milder than I’d expect for November, but early starts and late finishes really open your eyes to the fact that we’re in the last six weeks of the year. (eek!) So...

So we asked the very lovely Mimi, over at Little Sips of Tea, to tell us what Sensible September means to her. And here’s what she said… September is swiftly slipping away – I was startled to realise that it’s already the start of autumn,...

Autumn has always been my favourite season. It’s the comfort of a return to routine. The opportunity to enjoy the last of summer mixed while anticipating the months ahead. Cooler mornings but lunchtimes warm enough to read by the river. Like a mix of summer...

I love September even more as an adult than I did as a child. The end of hay fever and sneezing, the back-to-school feeling without actually having to go back to school, cosy evenings, the start of term at my local adult education centre… It’s sensible for...

It’s been a busy, busy month and as the days turn into weeks and months, and suddenly it’s September and feeling distinctly autumnal, I thought I’d do a quick roundup of some of our summer adventures… We had decadent breakfasts in Giraffe… found wallpaper patterned...
