I love the month of October. Autumn is officially here and its ok to put on tights, get out the jumpers and snuggle on the sofa under a blanket. This past weekend has been a total get-away from it all; a few days in the South Downs and it's been a showcase for Autumn's finest. Glorious sunshine, berry hues, copper and burnished ochres as well as a spectacular thunderstorm and torrential rain. There has been a trip to the coast and a blustery walk along the pebble beach, breathing in the salty seaweed smell and watching the sun play hide and seek with the storm clouds. There's been a log fire, fizz and warming pies; picking the last of the raspberries from the canes and country pubs with scrubbed wooden tables, roaring fires and sunday roasts. In every little shop I passed there were reminders that Autumn is upon us - the scarves, the corduroy, the pumpkins and fairy lights. Embrace it all I say, before the colours fade and the darkness of winter begins to nudge its way forward...
