Autumn

Harrigran I too got married in October. I remember my mum saying 'why do you want to be married when it is chilly and grey'. Well 23.10.71 dawned to a beautiful blue sky, the sun came out and there was wall to wall sunshine. We couldn't afford a honeymoon so we drove to our new home and spent a very happy week settling in. There was not a drop of rain all week. Where did those 43 years go ?

We lived near Woburn Flower until we moved to the south coast in 2012 and I know what you mean about the deer park in autumn. I loved driving through it on our way to wherever we were going. Do you go to the Oyster Festival?

I volunteered in the Heritage Centre in Woburn for a number of years and it is a beautiful village which looks especially stunning at Christmas when all the festive lights are lit. Happy days!

I love Autumn too! I love the colours, the rain, the sunshine, the chill, the warmth, being cosy, getting cold and the smugness of being inside!

I take great pleasure in the changing seasons and I'm sorry for all of you who suffer from SAD - it must be awful to approach the long dark months knowing the effect it has.

I love the colours of the trees at this time of the year. I was married in October and went to the Lakes for my honeymoon, the early morning mist over the fells was fabulous.

meant pastime (oops, don't know what happened there)

Rutting Deer, my favourite pass time in the Autumn. Love going to Woburn Park and watching the Red Deer calling, chasing and rutting. Autumn is my favourite season too.

I also love autumn for all the foraging, lots of wild mushrooms, wild raspberries and blackberries, etc.

I love autumn too but then, I like all the seasons for different reasons (not too keen on the very hot summers we've been having though).

There is a drive on the Island through an area called Tholt-y-Will which is mainly plantation and on lovely autumn morning, especially when the sun is shining, looking down from the mountain road, the view of the trees all various shades of reds, golds, browns and still some green is often breathtaking to look at. Nature really can be so beautiful.

Hear, hear Shysal!

Of course the autumn colour is beautiful, but I hate the darker mornings and evenings, with the promise of winter to come. Give me Spring any day!

I love autumn and winter, but autumn is so special because of its glorious colours. Much of my wardrobe is in autumnal colours, high autumnal colours, yellows and crimsons and colours like that.

In the current glorious weather I cannot wait to get out on my daily walk to see the sun shining through the yellowing leaves and walk through the leaves littering all the footpaths.

Come the winter I am cosy and warm at home and can always light the stove for extra warmth and add the smell of burning logs to lifes pleasures.

Autumn is ma favourite season too- the colours here are amazing, and the skies so so bright... and I am possibly the only GNetter who is truly looking forward to a real, cold and snowy winter, up here in t'mountains. Last year was rubbish- almost like an English winter - doh.

Autumn can be wonderful, especially with the Indian summers we have been having. I love the early morning mists with the sun just filtering through, and the glorious russet/golden leaves. It's a conker heaven where I live they are raining down thick and fast. The downside of Autumn is that Winter will follow and the question mark weather it can bring, but for the moment I'm making the most of the warm weather that we are lucky enough to have.

Could not agree more. What is going through my mind at present is that every evening without the heating on is a bonus.

We must be kindred spirits NfkDumpling I love autumn too but not what follows.

I would love autumn as my favourite month - if only it wasn't a harbinger of winter.
