While some might be sad to see the summer coming to an end, the joys of September can't be denied: crisper evenings, pumpkin spice lattes, and guilt-free hermit-ing with a cosy TV series.
There's also the opportunity to celebrate some big cultural anniversaries, with surrealism's centenary being marked at an exhibition in Hamburg, and Jane Austen's 250th birthday at a huge ten-day festival in Bath, UK.
