The Autumn thread #4 We thought the heatwave would last all year but Autumn is finally here!

It's going to be one of those years where we have a late summer so it's warm on Halloween.

saw these in H&M home last week - immediately read as pumpkins but surely not in april?

I love the white ones. Perfect for those who like Autumn but not the orangey red tones

Do any tattlers go to haunted hayrides/farms/houses?

Years and years ago I was in Dublin for Halloween weekend and we went to one out of town. I remember very little except both having fun and being scared out of my mind

I've been to Tulley's Farm before. It's amazing, but terrifying. I'd never say I wouldn't go again, but I don't think I could handle it ATM

I'm debating going to a Halloween event on a farm this weekend! Trouble is, it's forecast to rain and I'm not keen on trekking round in the wet, and then trailing muddy shoes into my car

The eggnog latte is showing as available now on the starbucks app

My Nespresso pumpkin spice cake pod stockpile is complete…just ordered another 120 capsules!

Our last few years of trick or treating have started off warm but then chucked it down!

I’m officially on AutumnTok and will happily be on it until Christmas.
July tomorrow, when does TK Maxx/Homesense start getting their bits in?

It often seems to be warm at Halloween, it was last year

I hate the heat in this country. I hate feeling hot, and trying to sleep in the heat. I hate exercising outdoors when it's clammy, and my gym's air conditioning is also an abomination, so that's unpleasant, too!!

I had to travel for work to the southern hemisphere for a month so I feel like my autumn disappeared into thin air.

I didn't even do my annual Practical Magic rewatch.

 

[spookydooky]

What did you post?

I was saying that my mother in law doesn't go in for the 'magic' of christmas and people were booting off that i was ridiculous and stupid for not being happy about it!

 

[mindlessness]

I'm so looking forward to Starbucks egg Nog lattes. Should be out next Thursday too.

Do you think the gingerbread latte will be out at the same time? Always look forward to those!

 

[CallMeHollywood]

Costa's new Festive drinks come out 2nd Nov which include...

Terry's chocolate orange hot chocolate
After eight mint hot chocolate
Hazelnut hot chocolate/latte
Black forest hot chocolate.

Ooo one of each please.

I've never been to a specific haunted /Halloween fright fest although there's a couple of local attractions that decorate for Halloween that we take to the kids to.

A few years ago when Halloween was on Saturday ( possibly 2015) we went to Whitby. We went to the Dracula experience and the Abbey. It was goth weekend too .I remember it being warm and sunny that year.

I would think so

 

[Kim Mild]

Shell we just skip this so called Spring/ Summer and go straight to Autumn and get the pumpkin spiced candles out?

I want to embrace coconut season , but I'm not feeling it yet.

 

[Prince fan 1999]

I don't mind Christmas taking over as such. I still feel Autumnal and we've got bonfire night on Sunday and its my wedding anniversary. I'll admit that I'm thinking of putting some christmas Dec's up alongside my pumpkins.

I'm really annoyed with Costa, they got rid of the maple Hazel syrup early in October when it's still Autumn for the Christmas menu. I love Christmas, but the mapel hazel latte was the best drink they've ever done.

Agreed. I only got to try it once then it sold out everywhere Imagine my joy when my local one stop Costa machine was doing it there...it tasted vile and nothing like the shop version. I nearly cried

Do Starbucks have their festive range out now? Not seen anything online

Pumpkins and other autumnal things remain out in my house until 1 December! There's no rush to get to Christmas here.

I've been on an autumnal holiday this year, and cannot recommend it enough. Flew to Zurich and from there took the train to Innsbruck in Austria. It's SO BEAUTIFUL.

We went to Innsbruck last year and loved it. I also recommend Bratislava.

From a UK perspective- wish we had this weather in autumn! Nice and cold and crisp instead of soaking wet

Definitely! It’s been gorgeous! Now heading back to wet and windy
