Autumn is September, October and November for sure in England. Autumn term begins on the 5th of September. More often than not though weatherwise it is brighter first week of September than throughout August. We tend to get a stunning week in May, a good five days in July and then for two weeks September is cooler and gloriously sunny. The rest of the time it rains, it is just warmer rain in the summertime. Well, in Manchester anyway, but then it always rains in Manchester so it's probably not representative. Whatever the weather however ( that rolls off the tongue), it is always Autumn in September when the harvest moon hangs low in the sky.

One part of the Fall leaf ritual that can't be forgotten was when, as kids, we used to rake all the leaves in the yard into huge piles and then merrily jump into them till they were blasted all apart again. Then we'd rake 'em back up and start jumping again. It sure was fun!

If Ever I Would Leave You
Music by Frederick Loewe and Words by Alan Jay Lerner
from the Broadway musical "Camelot"
If ever I would leave you, it wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer, I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight, your lips red as flame
Your face with a luster that puts gold to shame
But if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn, I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air
I know you in autumn and I must be there
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
If ever I would leave you, how could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall
No never could I leave you at all
