October always feels like the beginning of autumn, but November is when I really start to notice the change towards winter. The leaves are nearly all gone, the heating starts going on, and suddenly there’s nothing better than coming home, getting into your pyjamas and lighting a candle. I thought I’d put together a little November...]]></description><link>https://astorytolight.wixsite.com/a-story-to-light/post/cosy-november-to-do-list</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ae71e0bc71e8f92c45e64a6</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2026 07:00:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5118ba_c926c18c3bad4d609e99d44b6c6e23c1~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sincerely_Eleanor</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The October Society Short Story: Part Three]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hello and welcome back to my blog!

I’m quite excited about this week’s post because I’m doing something a little different for autumn. I’ve decided to create myself a little personal curriculum for the season. I’ve always liked the idea of learning things simply because I’m interested in them, rather than because I have to. There are so many things I find myself wanting to know more about, but never actually take the time to look into properly.

In fact, when I look at this past year, every month I have had the same reaction: where has the time gone?!

I used to love autumn growing up; the red converse I'd wear against the wet leaves, the misty mornings and the darker evenings, cosied up with a candle.
