12 reasons to be excited about autumn

It’s here!

SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY over, and for once, we can say that we had a good one.

We sat in the sun, ate ice cream, had barbeques that didn’t involve umbrellas… all the good Summery stuff you could hope for.

Now, we’re moving into autumn.  So what do we have to be excited about?

There’s loads of it.  Football and rugby are kicking back into gear, and if you’re not a sports fan you can celebrate the fact that the GAA is over!
