Saying good bye to summer, shorts, T-shirts, and warmth of the sun is never easy. Having a smooth transition into the colourful leaves of autumn makes this season enjoyable as you can continue to be out doors and take long walks by the park in the cooler weather. Winter is a season full offestive parties and activities with families and friends, but having the cold or flu bug takes away from the all the fun. From coughing, sneezing, sore throat and itchy eyes, you can’t get away from it and it seems like it’s everywhere!
