It hardly seems possible as it feels like the schools just went back after Summer, but today is Sunday 4th October and we’re already well into autumn! The darker nights are definitely drawing in, Halloween decorations are slowly appearing and let’s face it, Christmas will soon be upon us.
Just look how close some of these dates now are…
⏰ Clocks go back – just 21 days
🎃 Halloween – in 27 days
🎆 Bonfire Night (5th November) – only 32 days
🎄 Blantyre Christmas Lights Switch-On (14th November) – 41 days
🎅 Christmas Day – only 82 days!
Yes…just 41 days until Christmas Street lights get switched on! 🎁
For us certainly, it feels like no time at all since summer, and now we’re counting down the weeks until the festive season.
Has 2026 flown past for you too, or has it felt like a long year?
