Ahhh Autumn. Or Fall as Americans call it. And I’ve got to say, I much prefer Fall as a name for this season. It’s more literal but there’s something more romantic about saying Fall rather than Autumn. It’s quickly becoming my favourite season. I’m not a huge fan of heat so summer has never been […]
