autumn is back

The first real signs of autumn are here!
Almost reaching the month of November... and, finally, we are presented with those rainy days and cold nights characteristic of this time of the year.
This means winter is closer, the end of the year is nearer and that on the next few days we will be starting to see the children running and playing with mud on their rubber boots. With help of the wind the leaves will start to fall from the trees, the days will become shorter, the sun will refuse to shine most of the days, we will welcome the mornings as lazy moments, and at the first glance of raindrops the traffic will turn chaotic.
But the best of all are the fragrances in the air, like the smell of wet leaves on the ground and the scent of hot chestnuts being selled on the streets, that are mixed in the chilly atmosphere.
And of course we can't forget the beautiful autumn colours that surround us.
