Good golly! Right here, is the very best of Autumn. A roaring fire, gourds and berries on the table, and a bright sunlight pouring in. As a child, October and November were such rich and exciting months. We scavenged for conkers and inhaled apple crumble and burnt leaves. There was Halloween. Guy Fawkes. And birthdays for my brother and I. It was chilly and damp, but that didn’t stop us from racing around the neighbourhood in a sweaty t-shirt. I imagine great meals being served at this table. Shepherd’s Pie followed by stewed apples and custard.
