Hello!

>Fall, it seems, is now more of an American word and autumn is more British.

Can confirm. I live in the UK and have never heard it called Fall in real life. It’s Autumn here!

I didn't grow up with the word autumn used often- or at all. I like it, feels cozier than fall. The turn towards fall has welcomed itself with sickness sadly. I seem to be pretending to enjoy it from afar. Soups and stews are on the menu though and I am thankful for that as it is warm and nourishing. I look forward some of your book suggestions- thank you for sharing! I am most excited to feel better and make homemade sourdough pumpkin cinnamon rolls and light some beeswax candles on a slow autumn morning to welcome autumn in.

Agreed: autumn seems so much cozier than fall. But also, I feel a smidge pretentious using it in a sentence. :D I’m so sorry to hear sickness has visited you. I hope it passes quickly and smoothly, and then you can get onto wonderful sourdough pumpkin cinnamon rolls. *Amazing* The picture you paint with them and beeswax candles (my favorite) sounds divine. An autumnal dream.
