Welcome to October — let’s make the most of every cosy moment

As we flip the calendar to October, the first true days of autumn arrive in all their golden glory. The air is crisp, the leaves are turning vibrant shades of orange and red, and the days are gradually becoming shorter. It’s that time of year when candlelight becomes a comforting glow in the evening, hot chocolate makes a return as the drink of choice, and the British countryside is the perfect backdrop for long, peaceful walks. October is the gateway to all things cosy, nostalgic, and warm. Sweater weather is in full swing now—those perfect cool, but not too cold days where you can wrap yourself up in your favourite knitwear. Whether you’re layering up for a countryside walk or simply lounging at home with a good book, there’s something incredibly comforting about bundling up in soft, warm clothes. As the nights draw in, there’s nothing quite like the soft flicker of candlelight to create a relaxing atmosphere. This is the season where our soy wax candles, such as *Pumpkin Patch* or *Morning Mist*, really shine. Lighting a candle is more than just setting a mood—it’s about creating a sanctuary of warmth in your home. With scents like fresh juniper berries or earthy patchouli, these candles help usher in the feeling of autumn, filling your space with the essence of nature’s seasonal transformation. October is the month when hot chocolates, with their indulgent whipped cream tops and sprinkling of marshmallows, start to take the spotlight. Whether you’re warming up after a chilly countryside walk or simply indulging in an afternoon treat, there’s something undeniably autumnal about curling up with a steaming mug of cocoa. Pair it with candlelight for the ultimate cosy moment. This time of year transforms the British countryside into a spectacle of autumn hues. There’s no better way to embrace the season than a crisp walk through fallen leaves, feeling the cool breeze on your face and taking in the stunning landscape. From misty morning strolls (perfectly captured by the scent of our *Morning Mist* candle) to late afternoon rambles, nature invites you to slow down and savour the beauty of this season. As we move through October, there’s a key date to remember—the 27th, when British Summer Time officially ends. The clocks go back, gifting us an extra hour of morning daylight, but also signalling the start of earlier, cosier evenings. This shift in time makes October feel like the true beginning of the long autumn nights, with more reasons to hunker down with your favourite candle and a warm blanket. Of course, October wouldn’t be complete without Halloween on the 31st—a time when candles take on an extra magical quality. Whether you’re carving pumpkins, enjoying spooky films (Hocus Pocus being my personal favourite), or just embracing the festive spirit, Halloween brings a playful, mysterious edge to the end of the month. The glow of candles and the crispness in the air only heighten the eerie excitement of the night. October is a month that gently transitions us from the lingering warmth of late summer into the full embrace of Autumn. With sweater weather, countryside walks, and cosy evenings by candlelight, it’s a time to savour and settle into the slower rhythm of the season. Whether you’re lighting a soothing candle or preparing for the end of British Summer Time, let the magic of autumn wrap around you like a soft, warm blanket.
