Autumnal cider from Somerset

Ah, to live in an eternal Autumn! Well, it is not possible, but sometimes you can get fairly close, or at least find ways to calm your longing for your favourite season. Or quench your thirst for it. These days, it does not feel much like summer or June, more like an early September. So yesterday, my wife and I drank this Somerset cider from M&S, which I bought a few months ago. On the label, it says that it has "a crisp edge and the fragrance of orchards in Autumn". I cannot say that it went that far, for me any traditional apple cider is autumnal to begin with, but for a moment it did made me feel like I was in my favourite season.
