“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower” (Albert Camus)

Today we celebrate the Autumn Equinox and the start of my favourite season. Summer is lovely while it lasts but as I sit here listening to the rain gently falling on the skylight, it’s as if Nature is doing its job and cleansing all around us.

I can’t believe we’re halfway through April already! I love this time of year as spring struggles to tame winter into submission and we can experience four seasons in one day. But the bluebells are beginning to appear around the forest - a sure sign that spring is winning the battle.
