Or not.
'Autumn we are ready for you' announced the advertising slogan (Hobbs) which shocked me into awareness of how unready I am.
So excuse me while I take a media break and search for and embrace the best things about autumn. I've already got the divine smell of quince and this photograph of the shore path, I'm making ratatouille and putting the warmer linen on the beds for my guests....but I can't quite shake off that feeling of melancholy I always get in this season of wasps and mellow fruitfulness.
If it is your favourite season can you explain to me why?
