The most wonderful time of the year is upon us. No, not Christmas Autumn. After a gruelling three months of heat, humidity and glaring sunlight, we are all awarded a respite of the cool, crisp weather that comes with Autumn. The leaves change to beautiful oranges, yellows and reds, pumpkin-flavoured everything graces the menus at your favourite cafés and cozy hoodies permanently cuddle your torso. Oh, and did we mention HALLOWEEN? There's nothing quite like the first day since Spring that you can don a sweater, lace up your boots and dig your outwear from the depths of your closet. Nothing can really compare to the joy experienced after stepping on a crunchy leaf or after feeling a gust of autumn wind against your face. If you are one of those people who hates the heat, claims to be allergic to the sun and has to blast the air conditioning 24/7 to keep somewhat comfortable in the warmer months, then you know the struggle that is waiting for Fall to arrive. Although we are still in the grips of the summer heat, here are the little pleasures of Autumn to see you over the next month or so until the yummiest season of all finally arrives.
