Autumn has arrived. It’s the season of crunchy leaves, beautiful autumnal reds and oranges and getting out the cardigans and boots from last year.

WHY CHOOSE October?

Meanwhile, in southern Europe it’s still summertime! The sea has had all summer to warm up to rockpool temperature and we’ve had all summer to work on a tan. Cities are less sweltering, and re-energised for the new term. For poetic souls who care not a jot about a last burst of sunshine, October brings a more wistful, painterly beauty to the northern hemisphere; while spring is springing in the south.
