Hi ,
Two weeks ago we were in Corfu, leaving England while it was still summer, or so it seemed. The evenings had not yet darkened, the leaves were heavy and green upon the trees and though the conkers were beginning to fall from the horse chestnuts in our garden, they were still quite small and there were not very many. We returned this weekend to autumn. While we were away the year turned without us. Now the
conkers are falling thick and fast, their green prickly cases bursting open to reveal plump shiny nuts, the daylight fades earlier each day, and there is even talk of lighting the stove this weekend should the rain continue.
All of this means of course, that Christmas is just over the horizon and before that Hallowe'en so there's
plenty to occupy us indoors over the next few weeks. This month's Bustle & Sew Magazine includes projects for both these festive occasions...
