Between them, we’ll take the First Fog Walk, write a letter in brown ink, polish the brass, conduct a trial of the household umbrellas, borrow a poem, go deliberately to bed early and listen to one aria in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere will be treacle. There will be matches. There may be one good glove whose companion has gone to live a mysterious life elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s whimsical, occasionally ridiculous and more serious than it first appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRitual gives shape to time. A tiny ceremony interrupts the administrative blur and reminds us that we were here for our own lives. The Book of Days offers one small observance for every day of the month, with seasonal noticing, domestic folklore, commonplace prompts, private pleasures and permission to celebrate things the official calendar has carelessly overlooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome traditions take five minutes. Others might occupy a long, lamplit afternoon. None require achievement, obedience or the pretence that November is secretly July.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInside the November edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThirty original BrocanteHome traditions, one for every day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeasonal rituals, household ceremonies and gloriously unnecessary feast days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommonplace-book prompts and playful domestic decrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso Observed in November\u003c\/strong\u003e, a curious calendar of genuine holidays, commemorations and cultural observances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA November Household Record for your own notes and memories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA perpetual month-at-a-glance index\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut-out pocket charms, labels and seasonal ephemera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwenty-five beautifully illustrated A4 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrint the whole book or choose only the pages you fancy.
