Hello, dears!

Well, as the man on Game of Thrones said – "winter is coming". Or more accurately in our case, winter is already here. The days are shorter, there's a chill in the air, the woollen jumpers have been pulled to the front of the wardrobe, and some shops have already well and truly broken out the Christmas trees.

Hello, darlings!
