149th Post - September Overview

Finally, here are my recommendations for September, hope you enjoy them and find them interesting to watch, listen and eat. In the meantime, September has a lot to offer especially in London, so head this month and take in all the best new events, exhibitions and best events in the capital.

Summer is over. It was good, but somehow it didn’t quite live up to the expectations I had going into it. Now September is here, bringing that familiar feeling of starting again — except I’m not sure I have the energy for a new season.

I feel stuck. Friends don’t reach out, I’m still lingering over an old love, and meanwhile time keeps moving forward whether I’m ready for it or not. There’s frustration in feeling like I’m standing still while everything else carries on.

But maybe frustration and peace can exist at the same time. Maybe I don’t need to have everything figured out just because the season has changed. For now, I can let myself feel where I am, accept what I can’t change, and slowly make space for what comes next.

Bayeux Tapestry

Huge news, history fans, the Bayeux Tapestry is going on display in Britain for the first time in 900 years. The 70-metre-long artwork is an intricately embroidered depiction of the 1066 Battle of Hastings, in which William the Conquerer took the English throne, and it’s coming to the British Museum. Although it’s believed to have been embroidered in Canterbury, the tapestry has resided in Bayeux, Normandy for the past nine centuries. Despite numerous attempts from Brits to borrow the masterpiece over the past century, it will finally be on show on British soil for the first time since it was made.
