This was a summer like any other, but it felt very short. Maybe because you met different nice creatures throughout this time and since then you moved to a cottage in the outskirts of Moominvalley.

In these last weeks of summer, you have noticed the arrival of winter with each passing day. The days stay cold and the afternoons get shorter, unlike most creatures, you don't winter, you know how to survive the next few months and you already have an established home. It will be a little lonely, but also sad considering Snufkin is going south...

...I will go south to avoid the harsh winter that this valley suffers for the next few months. I don't remember telling you about it before, but I hope you understand.

Snufkin finished his words with a light sip of the tea you offered him earlier. He came to visit you to spend time with you before leaving next week, in addition to talking to you about his farewell to Moominvalley, hoping that it is not news that can be understood by you.

But don't worry, I always come back along with spring. And I promise to visit you on the first day.
