Translated to English: the nights are without deviation drawing closer.
Meaning: sunset is getting earlier as winter is approaches.
Usage: some bugger’s gonnae say this in August and you’ll instantly feel like autumn has arrived.

Why I don't offer free shipping
As a small business, I source the products in my shop as locally and ethically as I can and I keep those products as affordably priced as possible when I sell them. Because of this – and because I pay my fair share of taxes – I cannot offer free shipping.
Shipping method

If your order includes additional items from below, the order will be posted in an A3 board-backed envelope, with the poster(s) bagged with an additional board back. If you order more than one poster and need extra sleeves and backs because they are presents, please note on the cart page how many extra are needed.
