Finally, the weather has changed. It's raining, it's pouring. Gone are the hot summer days of walking barefoot on the grass. Enter the knits and boots.

Autumn is certainly my favourite season, perhaps because I am heading that way myself, but also because I love the mildness of it all. The crisp morning air, the gentle warmth of the afternoon sun and once in a while a cleansing shower. Just enough of everything to make you appreciate the wonders of the elements. Perhaps autumn teaches us in its own way what scientists, doctors and dieticians are trying to tell us all the time: A little bit of everything is good.

So that's what I have decided to do for myself this year. No more stressing about too much of this and too little of that. Instead I will enjoy everything life has to offer. I will not deprive myself of pleasure, but I will also not over-indulge. Instead I will be gentler on myself than I have ever been and do little bits of everything...
