My favourite colour is actually turquoise, but Dani Dipirro makes a very lovely point!
Autumn is a time of spectacular colour changes: bold and soft golds, greens, oranges and reds transform the colour palette of the outdoors, before dropping gently into rest.
This time of year fills the air with a feeling of change as leaves fall gracefully from the branches and come to settle softly on the ground. Trees start to reveal their superb architecture previously hidden by foliage. There is a magic as everything is changing.
This is the inspiration behind my collection "Into the Woods".
On the subject of trees, I wanted to share with you this beautiful quote from Miranda Hart’s new book “I haven’t been entirely honest with you” which is quite simply the best book I have ever read on well-being.
“A tree blooms for help…. When a glorious, wild tree is ailing in any way – perhaps it has a fungus or lacks some vital nutrient – it asks for help. All trees are interconnected under the forest floor and support each other … and one way a tree asks for help is it blooms early in the season… it’s boldly and beautifully signalling a weakness. It’s gathering nutrients while it can... and sending a signal to the trees around it that it will need support to survive. That tree holds no shame for having a moment of weakness. It simply knows that to ask for help is the natural order of things, and because it knows it’s worthy of it. By just existing, it is worthy…. Bloom like a tree to ask for help when you need it. We want to love you”.
What a beautiful analogy she draws.
