⏰ Why do we change the clocks back? | Bulletin #88

This week: AWA around the world 🖼 a delightful giveaway 🎣 and a symbol of hope ❣️

It wasn't farmers or Ben Franklin, but in 1905 on an early morning horseback ride, Englishman William Willett had an epiphany that the UK should adjust its clocks so people could enjoy more sunlight. A decade later, Germany become the first to implement the practice in an effort to conserve energy. Coincidently coinciding with the clocks a-changin, we got a very limited number of fun AWA Clocks in stock to hopefully add a little color - and satisfying clicks - to the coming months.
