Remember, Remember the 5th of November

..because you're gonna get a banger article

November is known for a lot of things. 🎇

  • Thanksgiving

  • Movember

  • Veterans Day / Remembrance Day

  • Election Day

  • Black Friday

  • Epilepsy Awareness

  • Guy Fawkes

  • Fireworks!

I like November. There is a calm stillness as we head into winter. Things get cosy. The heating is on.

You're protected from the elements, under a blanket.

You're 'home'.

I hope to add to that warm fuzzy feeling with some banger content for you.
