Season’s Greetings

It’s that time of year again. Usually reserved for excess 2018’s festive season seems to scream less is more. This year definitely saw the rise of minimalism & a wave of social consciousness for the planet, wildlife, people, politics & many other things in life we may have beforehand taken for granted as just being so. It feels like were are in the midst of palpable change, a change of consciousness in regards to our place in this life & swapping overeating and drinking for smaller portions of a better quality or more a ecological choice is just one of them. We are also seeing less commercial consumerism. Not so quick to buy a cheap pair of socks or a random item made from an un-disposable plastic, we now look to purchase gifts that have personal or symbolic meaning; if we buy gifts at all. The high street feels it & while many shops were barren places like Liberty & John Lewis were as busy as ever.
