It\u2019s birthday time in the Bumbumbee family. Our gorgeous Rosie is a \u2018wild ONE\u2019 and we just don\u2019t know where that whole year has gone. Given that late September and early October are the busiest months for births we know there will be a few of you out there that feel the same.<\/p>

It has been the strangest year for sure, but at least our busy little bees don\u2019t really allow us the time to wallow too much in the doom and gloom that could so easily take over otherwise. For now, the family unit and a few close friends, are all our little one-year olds really know. With many of us working from home or on maternity leave, the current situation has allowed us to keep our babies close just that little bit longer.<\/p>

The end of September and the early days of October signal a change in the seasons in Scotland. Like our Nordic cousins, we share a high latitude which means we have enjoyed long daylight hours and an extended twilight for many weeks. The wildlife and birds are busy well into the evening and the air seems to hum in the background. Our coastal walks around Burntisland have been filled with adventure and wonder \u2013 seeing everything through children\u2019s eyes \u2013 like the air \u2013 refreshing.\u00a0 Everything feels so alive.<\/p>

As we move into Autumn, the days draw in and a quietness returns \u2013 though we may still experience a few days of lingering summer sunlight here and there. So yes, the days will soon get shorter, but we know we can look forward to nature turning up the heat in a burst of oranges and golds and reds. \u00a0The cusp of the seasons provides a truly beautiful and vibrant kaleidoscope of colours to inspire.

Looking back over Rosie\u2019s first year, I genuinely feel art, nature, the seasons and the great outdoors (when we\u2019ve been able to venture out) have been a blessing in the truest sense. We can use art to express our innermost feelings and emotions (vital for us all) as well as to bring nature indoors when we can\u2019t get outside. Those summer days have been filled with buzzing bees and songbirds one day, and the sounds of waves and seagulls the next. Nature\u2019s orchestra has been the backdrop to our children\u2019s shrieks and giggles \u2013 these being the most treasured sounds of all.<\/p>

As I wrap the last of her presents in wrapping paper I created especially for her, I feel fairly sure in a few short years from now, Rosie will tell me she\u2019d much prefer the latest \u2018manufactured\u2019 Disney Princess themed characters all glitter and pink. I\u2019m sure I will happily oblige (read \u2018give in\u2019), but for this very special birthday my little Rosie will surrounded by the raw and resilient Scottish Wildflowers from the landscape of her birth with a little hint of vintage for that timeless twist and a reminder of the greens, yellows and pinks of her first summer.<\/p>

We\u2019d love to hear how you spent your little one\u2019s first birthday and your reflections of a very \u2018different\u2019 year.<\/p>
