On the Topic of... September

No matter how much time passes since I left school somehow September still feels like the start of a new year. A fresh beginning when new plans and ideas dreamt up over the summer months can now get underway.

I find it is the perfect time to make small changes and updates in the home. Lamps, candles and blankets are essentials for the upcoming darker and cooler evenings and a refresh of these pieces is an easy way to make simple interior lifts.

Making a fresh start is also à la mode this month in the garden as Elizabeth Tyler discusses planting bulbs and where to buy them.
