As much as I love Autumn, and it’s pretty much my favourite month, I wasn’t quite as prepared for the change in temperature that we experienced today.

Last Friday the hottest ticket in town was to see Tom Chaplin at Pizza Express Live Holborn.

I persuaded my mum to come up for the weekend so she could look after the children and we could go…
