I absolutely love summer but I have to say I am so looking forward to autumn. It's been feeling autumnal the last couple of days and I am so in love with it. The last bit of seasonal decoration I bought was for autumn last year so I'm happy to dig it all out and give my flat an upgrade!
Because we have a small flat and kitchen, as much as I love a summer salad, I love being able to do a one-pot stew or casserole or curry and let it cook for hours til the meat falls off the bone and the potatoes soak up the flavours. I live near an AONB and my favourite thing to do is go on a long walk, rain or shine, collect conkers and pinecones, and go for a pub lunch to have a roast somewhere with the fireplace crackling. Coming home as the sun sets and rallying myself to make an apple crumble or pumpkin pie, showering as it bakes, snuggling up under a blanket, not because I'm freezing, but just because it's a tiny bit chilly. Heaven!!
