I’m a summer baby and I love warm, sunny weather the most (that must be down to my Italian blood!), but I have to admit, autumn and winter are times that I look forward to for so many reasons. After my August birthday, I always feel a little sad to say goodbye to summer for
Hi Housemates, Hope you’re well and have all had a good week? I don’t know about you, but it’s really starting to feel like autumn now for me.
