Same it’s 25 degrees in Liverpool. I went for a walk this morning and it was nice and breezy but by the time the afternoon comes I’m sweating my bits off and I’m sick of it 😂


I was just about to say the same 🤣😢
Same here, went to Hoylake was nice and breezy and then an hour later it was too hot.
I just want to wear jumpers again

What time of the month does it usually cool down? Is it late September? I can't remember, and I'm very impatient for it to become much cooler.

To me, autumn means Lush’s snow fairy and I’ve run out! I thought I had another bottle but no 😢

Yeah I usually have a family party at the end of sep to celebrate a bday and it’s always in the garden

Yeah, Autumn technically doesn’t begin until September 23rd this year so I don’t think it’ll feel cool until we’re into October.

At the end of September last year, I was in my winter coat in south Yorkshire. Winter’s coming 😬 we’re going down to 18 next week.

I'm simply stating a fact... 😂😂
You’ve said you hate Autumn so I’m just confused as to why you’re still lurking on this thread and popping up to bring down the vibe 😂. Obv it’s an open forum and you can do what you want, I just find it weird.

I want to make frothy hot chocolate this Autumn/ Winter, to feel like I’m having a luxurious existence amongst all the doom and gloom, however I can’t really afford a Velvetiser, really. I’ve never frothed a hot drink before, will something like this do the trick or is it a pointless gadget?

We have one of those, just a cheap one, it's good for foaming up warm milk in just a few seconds. Husband uses it to make his coffees, I'm sure it'd do the job for hot chocolate too. I didn't get him anything fancier than one of these cos he is incapable of not breaking things. He likes the Monin hazelnut syrup in his coffee, that's quite a nice warming flavour.

Ah good to hear. I usually get catfished by gadgets but frothy hot chocolate does appeal to me, I think I’ll get one (y)

I have the velvetiser and it’s literally just one of those frothers inside and it also heats the chocolate flakes at the same time. I would guess that if you bought some hot chocolate flakes (rather than using the powder) and heated it in a pan with milk using the frother, it would taste exactly the same. The hotel chocolat flakes are quite expensive for what they are but you can get good chocolate flakes on Amazon and I think marks and Spencer’s also do them
