This last week marked the Autumn Equinox, so as we’re officially in Autumn now, I wanted to share seven books I would absolutely recommend every autumn. They’re just packed with magic, fairies, ghosts, ghouls, and history. Every one of them. … More Super Seven Books for Autumn
visited our local museum today. It’s about a ten minutes walk away from my house, in an old white-washed house with a thatched roof, with lovely arched windows and a manicured lawn in front of it.

Today is the autumn equinox (it falls between the 21st to 23rd of September every year, actual date depending on the year), so I felt an autumnal poem was in need.

But I’m back now, and this week’s poem is sort of still in line with what I felt last week. That summer is ending, and Autumn is beginning. … More Poem of the Week: Season’s Turn
I wanted to go with a theme for the coming autumnal months ahead, so September is brimming with the sense of mythology and gods and magic. There’s a lot of books on my shelf, but these ones in particular I’ve loved. … More Book Recommendations: September 2021
Oh what a tale this was. It had more than several hints of greek tragedy, brimmed with ancient myths, gods, and heroes, and had almost a feminist feel to the tale. I loved this book, and I do think ‘Circe’ is one of my favourite female characters. … More Book Review: ‘Circe’ by Madeline Miller
It’s the start of a new month, and September is also the time when new terms and semesters start, where those of us outside of education start to wonder about decluttering ready for the winter, where many of us start to hunker down and pull out the warmer clothes. … More Super Seven Apps to Help with Wellbeing
