There’s something about this time of year in Red There’s something about this time of year in Red Hill. Maybe it’s the old clichés that ring true, in the metaphorical sense perhaps; older, wiser, better, more knowing, but Autumn is the best time of the year especially at @red_hill_house.The colours of change are everywhere in store.Perhaps the mere nature of shortening days makes us more aware of the warm pinks, ochres and burnt oranges. Autumn is the beginning and the end – of readiness and change.#autumn #shopping #redhill
