November hopes

This is by far the longest amount of time I have gone without posting, since starting this blog. The entire month of October passed without comment from me on here. October was full of blog-worthy content - a new office, studying for a diploma, a wedding in France, countless coffee and catch-ups with friends, birthday celebrations and my usual life-pondering in between - and yet somehow, my corner of the blogosphere remained silent.

"It is familiarity with life that makes time speed quickly. When everyday is a step in the unknown, as for children, the days are long with gathering of experience."
~ George Gissing

Two years ago, I wrote about Robbie Williams lyrics 'Youth is wasted on the young' and following on from that, the quote above is my hope for November.

October was familiar, so familiar that it whizzed past. I absolutely adore Autumn for so many reasons. November is one of my favourite months and it houses one of my favourite nights of the year - November 5th: Guy Fawkes Night. I love fireworks, I love dressing up warmly and going out into the cold with friends and I love the general atmosphere surrounding this slightly random and very British celebration.

So, in the hope that November slows down, just a touch, I'm aiming to take a few steps into the unknown and make these short days long, by making memories and gathering experience.

Much love,
