Astronomically it is summer, the equinox is later in the month. The meteorological autumn starting on the first of September is just a fairly recent statistical convenience.

Of all the Christmas things, I wish mince pies were available all year round ! We have tested so many different types and Sainsbury’s own win hands down

It's still far too early for mince pies.
But then it's never the wrong time of the year for christmas pudding. I just love the stuff.
Mind, I stock up on puddings on clearance and always have a decent stash - they keep really well as long as the packaging is not opened. With a "mature" pudding, open the morning of or the night before, and give it a good glug of strong black tea (with maybe a dash of something a touch stronger) and let it absorb the liquid prior to heating up.
However if I don't make my own mince pies, then the Tesco Finest are as good as bought ones are going to get. They won a blind taste test on "Eat Well For Less" - and anything that wins a blind test is worth a punt.

A month or so ago, on the hottest day of the year, during a lunch break from decorating, I was channel surfing. Christmas shopping was being promoted on one of the Freeview shopping channels. FFS.

Somebody who doesn't like Christmas Puds gave me one a month ago that they had been given last Christmas. I DO like them, but am waiting for a **couple of people to help me eat it. I could easily manage it by myself but my waist needs to get smaller, not bigger!And cakes. And puddings.
**PS Two particular people - I am not inviting any of you gannets to help me eat it.
