Farewell summer

So, the nights are beginning to draw in, autumn fruits appearing, and the stupidly early arrival of chocolate advent calendars in the shops has startled me as it does every year. September has given us some lovely late summer weather, and London has been bustling with public events, farmers markets and fun. Here’s one of my favourite images of this English summer – Brighton Men’s Morris, jumping for joy on the South Bank.
For any readers overseas who haven’t come across this lovably silly English folk dance with its hankie waving and stick bashing, here’s a closer look at their jigging feet.

I’m really excited about autumn and Christmas this year. I’m going to be ace at Christmas, instead of half-hearted like I usually am.

True, but sometime since I seem to have had a complete turnaround. Now I love them!

I love Morris dancing! I love autumn, not just because my birthday is in october.
