From wildlife, to adaptations, to temperature changes and more – with curious children by my side, I have learned to love this season for what it has to offer.

As the weather gets chilly in October and November, it’s the perfect time of year to enjoy a hot drink together and catch up with friends (or just have a special outing with the kids).
