Autumn has finally landed in Petersburg after so many mild and sunny days. It’s starting to get chilly out there and darker earlier. The heating can’t be switched on until the government decides it’s time to, so it does get a little cold inside the flat in the evenings. Just an excuse to wear big fluffy jumpers and thick socks in bed, I guess. So cosy!

I don’t think I could have chosen a better time of year to be here.
