What happened to summer?

There was frost on the ground as I walked through Regent’s Park the other morning. The joggers have switched shorts for tracksuits and the occasional scarf. The rain we didn’t have all summer has returned with a vengeance. Its beginning to get dark when I leave work and the clocks haven’t even gone back. Selfridges have had their Christmas department open for weeks. Sainsbury’s are selling mince pies, alongside the orange pumpkins and black witches hats for Halloween. But the real reason I know its no longer summer, is that I’m no longer drinking smoothies with mangos and passion fruits but Vit C, blackcurrants, acerola cherries & rosehip smoothies. Mmmm smoothies, they are good for you, y’know ;).

Looking forward to: Bailey’s season
Intrigued by: Winter Pimms
Resolving to: not have a mince pie until at least November
