Whether you hate, love or are indifferent to it there is no way you can ignore the existence or presence of Valentine’s Day. As I’ve shared here on the blog before, I am not a big fan of it because it turned into a date of intense commercialisation and consumerism.

Wow, it’s been a long time since I last posted here and I have missed it. However, I am taking the blog on a new journey and blog posts around here will be less frequent as I am working behind the curtains.

Autumn has officially started, however, temperatures aren’t exactly plunging here in the UK, at least not to the level we consider normal. Blame it on global warming, I say! After a surprising Summer with extremely high temperatures, it looks like Autumn didn’t want to stay behind and graced us with many warm sunny days.
