The Retirement Newsletter: The delights of autumn (fall)
Welcome
Welcome to issue -69 — the autumn edition — could this be my penultimate autumn before I retire?
I plan my newsletters a few weeks in advance, and a couple of weeks ago, I decided that this week would be the autumn edition.
At the time, it looked like we were heading into autumn, but I later discovered that this was a “false autumn” due to the exceptionally hot and dry summer we had in the UK. So, all the changes I saw in nature were not due to the approach of autumn but were due to stress caused to the plants from a lack of water.
However, in the past week, the trees have started to turn in the UK, and there are definite signs of autumn.
Autumn (fall)
If I think about it, there isn’t a season that I don’t like.
In the spring, we have all the new growth and new life.
The summer has the long warm days.
The autumn has the fruits and the autumn colours.
And I even enjoy winter, as long as it’s a cold crisp day and not a grey, drizzly, damp one.
