It was our first winter in Amsterdam. Having arrived in late August, we were in time to see the last lap of the summer. Balmy evenings, leafy pathways and lingering sunsets. As autumn set in, we began revelling in the beauties of the season, the days growing shorter, the changing colours of the leaves and the perceptible drop in temperatures. One of the greatest joys of living in Europe is, to experience the changing seasons. Each season comes bearing the delights of Nature, beautifully packaged in its own unique style. The flowers of spring and the promise of a new beginning; followed by the warmth of the ripening fruits and grass in summer. The falling leaves and the harvest in autumn and then of course the bliss of a crackling fireplace, and hot cocoa in winter!
