Even in the midst of our end-of-year preparations, we couldn’t forget to take the time to breathe and commemorate the lunar Mid-Autumn festival. Glowing lanterns lined our island; we savoured sweet mooncakes and other festive treats; and a gratitude for the fullness of life and the sustenance that the land gives us filled our hearts. To everyone that celebrated this warm occasion alongside us or elsewhere in the world, we hope you had a wonderful Mid-Autumn festival. #PatinaMaldives
