It’s been many weeks since I last wrote a post on this blog. Summer slipped past and now I am looking at the last of the leaves before they leave the trees completely bare. It’s November, a chilly and drizzly autumn day, which has its own unmistakable charm. Why did it all run away so…

Who hasn’t spent long winter evenings snuggled under a blanket at home, watching a favourite TV show or reading a good book? The latest winter evenings for me were occupied with reading a magazine called Juno. I always look forward to a new issue, as it reminds me that a new season is coming. The…
