Last of the summer wine...

Hello my lovelies,

Sorry I have not posted in so long I have been very busy with enjoying the summer sun. The summer has been a long warm one for me here at Hand Made towers which I have enjoyed very very much. Life is plodding along very comfortably as we move properly to Autumn, I have many joys and feel very lucky indeed. I practice counting my blessings very often as I think it keeps you young and happy.

Now the leaves are turning over and the sun light hits us from a low angle, the clocks have changed and the nights are longer. Soon will be the time for fireworks and cosy blankets on knees with hot chocolate to drink and marshmallows to toast. I take great please in welcoming season changes.



Take care
Love Clara x

Autumn 2014 is coming

I have had a cracking summer! My Etsy shop has been doing better and better, the day job is not being wholly horrid, and the weather has been absolutely marvellous. The last few summers have been very soggy and miserable. In contrast this one has seen temperatures over 25°c for many weeks on end, this coupled with being  close to the sea and family has been wonderful.

Today has seen a drop in temperature and some heavy showers of rain, and to be honest it has been so nice to pull on a large snugly cardigan and lounge about this afternoon and put on a film and eat biscuits. I love summer I truly do, but Autumn is my favourite time of year. I am looking forward to cool mornings and nights where you can sleep without being too hot. Blackberry crumble and custard and other such lovely desserts, but you still get warm afternoons and lots of golden sunshine. I love the colours of Autumn, the golds, oranges and light browns of leaves turning colour and the stepping on them as they fall from the branches all crispy and crackly.
