There's a lovely scent in the air....

I can smell autumn on the breeze...it's only August, but I already feel like I'd quite like to light the fire. The blackberries in the hedgerows outside are fat and juicy, there are pumpkins growing in my veggie patch and the leaves from next door's pretty, ornamental cherry tree are blowing wildly around my garden in their hundreds. I love this time of year, I love it when you can feel the season's blending, summer giving way to autumn, my absolute favourite season...I feel warm and secure and full of a contented glow, and I know that all is well in my world.
