Well, it’s been another action-packed month on my end! November has been all about nurturing connections; with our Beaumont Stockists, our community, and our family. 

We started the month with Lola’s 14th birthday. If you have been following me for a while, you will know that Lola is our furry baby, and we adore her. We had a lovely little celebration for her at home with her favourite treat …. cheese…. It was super cute and a lovely way to start our busy month. 

Next up was a week's road trip in the UK visiting some of our lovely stockists. We covered just a small part of the West Coast, embracing the snow and visiting some beautiful towns which are home to some of the most beautiful stores. In a world where we are often hiding behind our screens, it was really special to get out and meet the people behind these independent boutiques, some of which have been our partners for many years. 

After a few days at home, we were off again to Switzerland, where the temperature was a few degrees lower and the air felt cleansing.

We covered quite a lot of ground, visiting Winterthur, St Gallen, Appenzell, Lucerne, Bern, Langenthal, Basel, Baden and, of course, Zürich, visiting and enjoying time with our Beaumont partners, whilst also taking in the odd landmark and heritage sight on the way.

It’s certainly true that Switzerland is a pricey country to live and travel in, but without doubt, what you are buying is the best quality around; the tastiest fresh food, immaculate streets and pristine hotels. 

Back home our community Christmas light switch-on was in full swing; led by my husband Nelson, with a little of my creative input and a large helping hand from local florist Sian from The Flower Lounge who created the most beautiful bow for our tree.

And that’s a wrap!

Reflecting on it now, I'm so grateful for November and all the new and old connections we rekindled.

Wishing you a beautiful and joyful December filled with all the festivities and special moments that make this month so magical. 

All my best wishes,

Hannah
