Autumnal advantages
Well, summer seems to have slipped away mightily quickly!
But best not to sob, instead let’s march into autumn and embrace its bounties!
The plant kingdom offers many riches this time of year. .. think of autumn plums with their slight crunch factor, first season Pink Lady apples with their delicate pink blush, crispy Jerusalem artichokes, crimson rhubarb, sweet walnuts and best of all … brussels sprouts – hooray!
Take a moment at dawn (I know you will all be up hitting the gym or pounding the pavements!) to regard the spectacular pink and gold sunrises … and in the evening when preparing that autumnal inspired dinner, look outside and glance at the beautiful orange and crimson hues of the sunset.
I could not agree more with the words of a most celebrated French philosopher, Albert Camus, “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
