Some of the signs are apparent;the rugby season is over bar the photos and presentations(ignoring the World Cup of course), the mornings are lighter earlier, and I cannot sleep beyond 6-30, and the Kiwis say it is here because we have reached September. Never mind the tilt of the earth, the equinox and all that.
It is warmer and we did try to sit on the deck yesterday. The skies have been clear and things are looking up, that is, until the winds arrive.
Happy seasons.
