Autumn

Autumn, nestled between the heat of summer and the cold of winter, serves as the ‘cooling off’ season. As the days shorten and temperatures dip, plant growth slows down. Animals start preparing for the scarcity of food that typically arrives with winter, either by gathering supplies or migrating to warmer regions.

The leaves are changing colour and falling, autumn plants are thriving, there is a smell of earth and wood as leaves decompose and there is more rain and fog. It is also prime harvest time for a huge number of fruit and veg and a time of abundance and preparation for winter.
