November is chestnut month in Portugal, or that’s how I think of it anyway. We roast the chestnuts with sea salt and do magustos throughout the month; it’s one of my favourite winter childhood memories and one which warms me in this cold. It’s funny how memories have that power, isn’t it?
I can’t quite believe we’re almost through this year. Like never before, I think time just flew me by and yet as I look back, so much has happened during these 11 months. The main thing for me has been my approach to change and what I ask of November is that it gives me some tranquility, in the present and in the future.

I have to say I love November, its a warm up for the christmas decorations, the end of the autumn colours and my birthday 😀
apesar de fazer anos em novembro confesso que não é, de todo, um mês preferido. nem é carne nem é peixe, não é Outubro com aquela ansia do Outono nem Dezembro com o Natal. Mas concordo, as castanhas e os magustos são um dos pontos altos do mês! Adoro!
All excellent reasons to love this month :)Hope you have a great birthday!
Compreendo-te… é mesmo um mês baunilha, como se diz por aqui… mas as castanhas valem a pena, ou fazemo-las valer 😉
