September

September is my favorite month and always goes by too quickly. I found this little book about months at the beginning of September, before the first day of school, and yet here it is now going up. Perhaps I’ll flip to October next week for everyone.

I have been looking for this book for ages and finally spotted it in our new Honesty Bookshop for only a £1. The best things come in September! It is A Year is a Window with paintings by Erik Blegvad and verses by Richard Jackson from 1963.

My favorite Septembers are always autumnal, with school supplies, and leaves just starting to turn, and glimpses of pumpkins and other harvesty things appearing. September is a short and somewhat chaotic month, kicking everything off for the new school year. School buses here in the UK are not always yellow, but I think the iconic yellow school bus will always bring the nostalgia and thoughts of September.

Hope your September has been lovely and not too busy and that it is ushering all the lovely delights of the autumn and holiday seasons.
