Autumn #5 🍂

[Kim Mild]

I've had a a nice autumnal ( adult) afternoon at a national trust .It was surprisingly busy .

How is it almost October?!
I was in the supermarket last night at about 6.30pm, came out after, and it was dark but strangely humid in the carpark. Felt a bit odd.

Bought a winter tog duvet as my summer duvet now too thin. Brushed cotton sheets. I don't want to leave my bed today but alas I have things I should do, but hopefully I can get back in it later to read with a nice cup of tea.

Does seem to have flown by. Now I'm in my 30s time seems to go so fast. I was once told by elders "enjoy your youth, it goes so fast as you get older" and I didn't believe it. As you do when young, you ignore it, but now I'm older I feel time passing quick haha.

This morning I read the Sunday times with a hot water lemon and honey with the rain pouring through my open back doors. I don’t even mind that I’m under the weather right now it was so glorious

It's been a bit wintery today. I love it.

 

[Yer_wha?!]

Just spotted these in the new Lidl leaflet- in store from 10th September. I'll be buying some!

Oooh! Can I join? We are just about moving into Autumn here. It was 3 degrees this morning and some of the leaves on the birch trees are starting to turn.
It's FINALLY starting to go dark around 10pm.
I love this time of year.

That sounds like Heaven to me, can I come?

I'm looking forward to having things like hot soups from a nice mug and snuggling under a blanket but not actually feeling too cold. My fave.

Looking forward to getting my crochet stuff out of hibernation again.

Me too, I have all my wool ready to start a new blanket and I’m so excited

Oh man I am so wishing for autumn! I want a cool breeze and crunchy leaves underfoot and candles burning. This long hot summer can get to fuck.

Only 2 hours and 6 minutes until September. Can’t wait tomorrow to put my pumpkin ornaments out

We don't seem to have places like in the USA East Coast where Autumn/Fall is very picturesque. The US is very fortunate in that sense. I regularly hear that Virginia, North and South Carolina and New England have the best autumn views, but I've never been. I think I need to visit the Eastern states of the USA at some point during fall.

The dog has been snoozing all morning while I’ve been working from home for a few hours so we’ve been sat on the sofa and it’s been so peaceful and cosy with the candle on. Catching up on Coronation Street now and making the most of the quiet!

We’re going on holiday to Wales tomorrow for our Birthdays and the weather actually looks like it’ll be nice. Going to get my nails done soon for our holidays

Has anyone got any cosy plans today/this weekend?

Ok so I was driving home from work today and stopped at traffic lights and there were brown and orange leaves falling across the road in the wind and it was actually magical, if it wasn’t a crime, I’d have taken my phone out and taken a video, it was so nice 🥹

Can I put my autumn decor out tomorrow? Is that weird!!?? I love summer but what is the harm of getting ready to be all nice and cosy

My plan is to do it while my husband is at work then he’ll get home and be like, oh pumpkins. He said OCTOBER to me when I first said I wanted to get the autumn decor out….. 🫠

However the wreath for the door can wait til September 1st because I’m scared of judgement from the neighbours

Do it! I will my wreath

Last year I put my Halloween decs out start of October, I was the first one on the estate and that same evening a couple more houses did. Same with the Christmas decs I’m sure a lot of us are all waiting patiently to put them out and then when we see someone finally does we all follow

Not to wish my life away but I have daydreamed about autumn every day since mid-June.

Obsessively ogling pretty seasonal pictures on the socials has been helpful.

August is going to be rough, it's my most despised month by a long shot but at least at the end it's September. Always makes me want to watch films like You've Got Mail and Practical Magic.

I love YouTube this time of year but it drives me nuts when creators say Autumunal rather than Autumnal, there's no extra vowel!

Or UK youtubers call is fall.

Hi Autumn peops. I’m going through a really rough time. My child has been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and my husband might have it too (genetic). Plus work is awful and my boss has been vile. I’m signed off sick at the moment. Going to try and find the energy today to cheer myself up and put out my wreath and autumnal decorations.

Do/can you bake? Often baking can be a nice and relaxing stress reliever, and it could give you a little focus. Maybe baking some simple Autumn bakes for your son/daughter and husband could be something to take your mind away from the negative things in life at the moment. BBC has some simple recipes, it doesn't need to be anything complicated. Sending positive vibes and hopefully things look up for you soon.

I went to Salem four years ago in October and it was actually magic!

It doesn’t feel like autumn yet to me, still too hot and humid (at least down south)

Hoping the temperature drops below 20 and the leaves start changing colour soon. Can’t wait for cooler days and cosy nights (especially after this summer!)

Same. I’m still sweating and I just want cardigans and candles!
