tinge of autumn
Today, despite strong sunshine, has a distinctly cold wind, which reminds me of Chapter Eleven (?) of Falconer's Lure. But autumn before that term begins, how often does that happen?
I have clear recollections of boarder envy in the first week of the autumn term, sweltering in their gymmies or skirts while the day girls were cool and comfortable in their cotton frocks. This would have been in the 1950s, mostly in South East England and the Thames Valley.
