Now the summer has ended (boo) and we’re going into Autumn.
This has to be one of the better seasons for me, even if it means going back to
School or University. While I was planning this blog post I came up with a
whole page of reasons I like Autumn.
To start with the air gets more crisp and fresh as the cold
sets in, none of this hot and muggy nonsense we’ve been having in England.
The changing colours of the trees and the crunch of leaves
under your shoes, how can you not love it? Dog walks in the autumn are
definitely the best! And not forgetting when it gets darker a bit earlier in
the evenings…
TV…need I say more. All
of my favourite TV programmes start again in the autumn, there’s just so much
to watch and X Factor is basically the count down to Christmas right?
It also means it’s almost time for Thursday late night
shopping too. Wandering aimlessly through shops as dusk settles and the shop
lights light up the street. Walking through the markets is so much nicer than
when it’s boiling hot and it’s something I’m going to make more of an effort to
do.
Not forgetting the food (you knew it would come up at some
point!).the hot soups, homemade stews, apples at Halloween, all kinds of pies,
huge pots of chilli and yes, of course, a Sunday roast dinner! No more of all
this salad business, but don’t worry I’ll be finding autumn alternatives and
keep you posted!
I don’t normally treat myself to new clothes that often, I
get a few staples and work around that. However recently I’ve felt the urge to
look for a few new bits thi season. I’d love a chunky cardigan for when it gets
colder and I need a new coat too. I can’t wait to get out my woolly chunky
snoods, they are unbelievably warm and great for when you go on walks. And
boots as well, always a must.
It also seems like the perfect excuse to have a bit of down
time to myself. After summer being so hectic and just plain crazy, it’s time to
have those cosy Sunday nights that don’t require much thought. Light up a nice
smelling candle and do some writing or watch my favourite TV programmes and let
everything else wait till Monday morning.
Fortunately, or unfortunately in some cases, I’m all into
new starts. So, as September is in full swing, and we’re already a week in,
it’s time to pack up the rest of my things and move back to Kingston ready to
find a new job. I actually cannot believe it’s already a week into Septembers.
It feels like only last week it was the beginning of the summer holidays.
Lastly, but by no means least and without a doubt the best
bit, it means it is time to almost get ready for Christmas. And I LOVE
Christmas, I mean really love it, but I will have to save that for another day
or I will get too overexcited and it’s only September after all.
So for now, I will live in the moment and enjoy Autumn while
it is here!
