Autumn has always been my favourite season, the aesthetic of bright autumnal sunshine highlighting the gold, brown, honey and amber colours of the leaves on the trees always brings me pleasure. I love to wrap up in my knits to stay warm and cosy whilst enjoying the outdoors and the wonderful nature that surrounds us.
