I'm fickle, flitting from one love of the season to the next. But there is something about autumn - crisp air, moody colours and the richness of berries. It really is food for the soul. As soon as September hits I'm ready. I want the wooly jumpers, the log fires and a house full of rich colourful flowers If I were to marry again I'd have to book an autumn wedding - the textures and colours are just so phenomenal and always blow me away.
