A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
Leaves turn brown and the weather unsettles itself, shifting from wet-grey to dark. We pack our brollies and don our boots simply to get through the ever-shortening days while cold showers seem to mark each passing hour.Nature recognises that Autumn is fall, the end not demise, of plenty and toil and All Hallows’ Eve (Halloween) marks the passing of the seasons and the summer’s end, as we light up the encroaching darkness with carved jack o’ lanterns, face paint and cadaver-themed sweets. Autumn demands we take stock of the year, with gratitude, with joy and thanksgiving and this issue provides plenty of ideas to get us through the inclement weather by heading out and experiencing the amazing independent music scene and some cracking venues around London. Or perhaps staying in and staying healthy is your cup of tea with tips for naturally combating migraines. If we care to look past our immediate needs, this issue offers ways to look out for our community and environment with the best of vegan fashion, reducing our food waste and the importance of caring for the mental health of those who care for our mental health. We also explore the sublime outdoors in romantic Autumn walks through London, though what is better than snuggling up on the sofa beneath the duvet with that special someone, as we discuss five best tips for a healthy and loving relationship. Whatever Autumn brings us; it is certainly a season to let the weather do what it will, as we keep our lights burning through the dark
