Welcome to Autumn!

This is one of my favourite seasons! As a child I would firmly attest that Summer was my favourite! To a great extent it still is. I love water - I am drawn to the sea and love the fact that Summer provides bright sunny days and clear skies, so that snorkelling is fantastic. I love the long evenings for walks and tennis, and catching up with friends.

I have to say though, as I get older (and no, no melancholy here) I really am beginning to appreciate Autumn. For a while it was just one of those transitory seasons, but now, I am really coming to appreciate all that Autumn is.

I love the seasonal foods. Today I was feeling under the weather and made a delicious vegetable soup. I was actually craving vegetable soup all day!

I loved the fact that the first day of Autumn was autumnal in the weather as well! Such a relief from the stifling humidity of the weeks just passed.

On Sunday we bought a gorgeous palm tree. I will post some pictures of my balcony garden soon!

So happy to be cooking and gardening.
