Good morning all from beautiful autumnal Morsum.
Isn't that word "autumn" wonderful? Of course, our US cousins call this "The fall". Last week when I was in beautiful Maryland, people often said to me, "I love your accent!" "You're the one with the accent," I thought privately. But on that I'm not quite right. In many cases - and autumn is one - it's the US word which is the original, it's the Brits who changed - in the case of "autumn" during the 18th century when all things French became very fashionable.
