“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.

This year, the spring equinox coincides with a super-moon, known as the ‘Worm moon’, after the Native American observation that the worms begin to appear at the start of spring as the ground begins to thaw. It’s almost as if the birds know that winter is over as they busy themselves catching worms and gathering twigs for their nests. Look out for it tonight!
