Autumn

GrannyGravy13 I like what you said, think that really we should be grateful just for every day and what it brings whatever the season. Though I must say I do have a very soft spot for Autumn.

Had to put that Kirksy18 , because that’s the catagory for this topic,it’s not always where a subject fits in

Should read : Not always clear where a subject topic fits in

That's one consolation however during my period of self imposed 'hibernation' I would have to make sure these dramas were set to record.

Spring for me when everything is fresh & new!

I enjoy Autumn but I love spring, has to be my favourite time of the year. Nights getting longer, flowers appearing and the colour of spring. Always makes me happy.

Loathe the autumn. End of summer, months until good weather, everything in the garden dying off ☹

Totally with you bridgeit,autumn has always been my favourite season.Beautiful colours and crisp days;evenings snuggled up on the sofa.

I love the freshness of Spring and the colours of Autumn, but to be honest, each season has its special beauty and something to enjoy.

Your garden looks lovely, * Flossie*.

Anything after the Spring equinox is fine by me.

Summer.
I hate Autumn when everything is dying & winter is so miserable.
Spring is OK but lovely hot summer days are my favourite.

I prefer Autumn and Winter as it seems to be a far more sociable time, everyone back from their travels and winter classes and societies start up again. I much prefer to be out and about on winter evenings, then come home to my lovely quiet, placid home.

Like Cherrytree 59 I love Spring, favourite flowers daffodils, the promise of lovely things to come.
Autumn is depressing thinking of what is to follow, darker days, having to wrap up when going out, not like during the Summer when you can just go out, no jacket, boots scarves, etc and driving in the dark, my pet hate, I must add we live in Sweden, and it is DARK and cold for many months.Roll on SPRING!!

I'm definitely an autumn/winter person - I love it when the nights start drawing in and we can put the lamps and candles on and make the house cosy. My mum hated the dark nights but loved all the colours of the changing trees.

Yes, Autumn is my favourite by a million miles. Love the colours - the Acers, Dahlias, autumn leaves on a woodland walk, etc, etc. Resuming birdwatching, blackberries, end of the ever-lasting school holidays, that lovely slight sense of melancholy. Oh, I just adore Autumn.

I love the Autumn, too - we really had a lot of summer this year, and it's about time it got a bit cooler. At the moment it's ideal - still sunny but not so hot.

I had thought of starting a thread where we could praise our favourite month in rhyme. (Mine would be September, I've thought of a couple of lines already)

Would there be any takers?

Awful Autumn. Harbinger to Winter. Definitely not for me. I will concede it can have some attractive colouring but the reduced temperature negates that for me. One bonus is that my various friends and family try to squeeze in one last meet up before settling in for hibernation. That is good. Also there looks like some promising drama coming on tv and, of course, Strictly. Other than that - roll on Spring!

Love the Autumn colours, driving on a sunny Autumn day along avenues of trees all different colours. Don't even mind Winter too much as long as we get crisp, sunny, frosty weather. Even though I was snowed in twice last year it was lovely looking at it from indoors or wrapping up warm scarf, hat & gloves (my waterproof boots got their 1st outing 5 years after I 1st bought them) .

Spring for all the new shoots & Spring flowers. Summer, long hot days, enjoying being outside.

jennil23 I relate so much to your post. I lived for 10 years in Papua New Guinea; it was a long time ago now, but I continue to love heat and sunshine, and dread winters, particularly the lack of light, more every year, hence autumn fills me with foreboding..

While I've (mostly) enjoyed the summer, I am now looking forward to autumn, aka 'Season of mists and mellow
soupfulness' in this house, since I do make a lot of thick, main course soups - no recipe but just whatever veggies I have, plus any suitable leftovers, lentils, pearl barley, etc. Plus bread and grated cheese.

They were a necessity many moons ago when dh and I were utterly broke, but he still loves them and would eat them every night.

I don't mind the dark evenings, since I have a Nativity set for Gdcs to knit, pref. by 1st December, and there's still an unfinished jigsaw (in one of those zip-up cases) left from last winter. I somehow don't feel right doing them during more clement seasons.

In the local butcher's the other day a customer was buying ham shanks and heading home to make soup.
My soup season runs from mid-October, when the DGC return to school for the winter term, until the Easter holidays start.
My fellow customer makes soup all year round!

I love spring, the garden is starting to come alive and there is hope for a good summer. The nights are getting longer and people seem happier.

I actually love all four seasons as they each have so much to offer - Spring all the new births (eg Lambs), flowers coming out and all the bright colours resurfacing and the weather warming up; summer for all the colour and warmth, beautiful life all around you, motorbike rides; autumn for the change in colours, smell of bonfires and the change to warmer clothes and boots;winter for snow, wrapping up, warmth when you walk in the door after being outside and Christmas, which I love.

Autumn is ok until the clocks go back then I start to sink into a depression. Then the dark evenings make me want to hibernate till Spring. Everything in the garden is dying and lots of sad memories come back to me.
I am trying to make more of an effort this year. I've signed up for an Italian course and volunteered to sell Christmas cards for good causes in Nov/Dec. Hopefully that'll keep me occupied until I can start looking forward to Spring and getting out in the garden again.
