Autumn. Ah, yes. My fave seasons and Katrina's, too.

"Fallen leaves, some mottled and others striped, crunched beneath their feet." FATAL ERROR

"Autumn, her favourite season. It was the colours, the golden light from a sun travelling low on the horizon, the musty, distinctive autumn aromas. She loved the red berries on the mountain ash. The yellow of fallen leaves on the green of the grass and the sound of them crackling under her feet." FATAL ERROR
