The wheel of the year is turning and Autumn is most definitely shoving Summer to one side and jostling its way in.
Here in Cornwall, we’ve gone from glorious sun on Monday, through to torrential rain, floods and gale force winds this weekend. We catch the low pressure systems as they roll in off the Atlantic and that keeps things fairly warm, but brings wet and windy conditions at any time of year.
I love the end of August and beginning of September, though. The changing seasons, the turn of the leaves, the back-to-school excitement, the blackberries and apples all ripe and ready to be picked, and my birthday, all combine to a heady rush of list-making, baking and new stationery.
