Autumn is the most wonderful season, not least of all because it often heralds better weather than the summer, particularly in September.

The richness of the colours in autumn are so inspiring and, to tap into this theme, our wine article recommends rich reds for autumn, Lynette Williams, our interior design guru helps us to get our homes coloured up for the season ahead, with simple touches to create a little swoosh of style.

As a child I often collected petals, seeds, rosehips and all manner of things - dabbling, not necessarily successfully, with home-made concoctions, hair conditioners were top of my success list and so I can highly recommend Jessica Houdret’s article on home-made shampoos and conditioners. Give it a go!
With allergies on the increase and chemicals often the root cause, it’s worth the effort and fun to be creative - a therapeutic experience, particularly if you are a secret alchemist. If you have children or grandchildren around to share the experience then get them involved too (very Harry Potter), they’ll love it!

I had the pleasure of visiting Buckingham Palace to see the Ballroom set up for a State Banquet, this marvellous experience should not be missed.
