I have to say that I am like you - I always feel a fresh start feeling at the beginning of Autumn. I don't know whether it's a hangover from school days, or because I have my own children. I also live in a University city, so September sees the students drifting back and gives the city a buzz that I love! It always makes me want to hunker down and read and study, which is partly why I decided to start a Substack : ) I hope you have a lovely 'homecoming' visit!
I guess I'm an autumn guy though most of my memories - especially of when I was a kid - are connected to endless summers at the beach.
I like autumn's melancholy, its colors and softer vibes. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzQ9NCGHGaw (the whole album has an autumnal feel)
Ah, thanks for mentioning Eric Rohmer. He's one of my favorite film directors.
