Pumpkin, peas, pineapple – see the pattern?
Just before and into early dawn. The birds start their activities, the sky can be amazing and everything is new.
Autumn is the Goldilocks season – not too hot , not too cold . . . . just right. The weather is pretty settled then.

Take your pick from; tripe, pineapple or olives.
The Blue Hour. I love the tranquility of most people still being asleep, little to no artificial noise, and only the earliest birds starting to sing. It’s a different enjoyment depending on whether I’ve woken up at that time or am finishing a night off…. Of course the colour of the sky that gives the time its name is spectacular.
Summer. I love the heat, the long daylight hours and the warm nights. I equally love the lethargy it can cause, forcing one to lay in a hammock with a book and cold drink, or getting stuck into some physical labour, like brush-cutting, and being drenched in sweat. I love eating meals outdoors, and having bare feet.

I like all seasons for different reasons! Summer/swimming, spring/smell the roses, winter/feel the cold, autumn/colours of the leaves……
