Anybody else glad it's Autumn?

.....and the days dwindle down to a precious few - September, November- what a gloomy song this time of year always makes me think of that and makes me nostalgic for days gone that can never come back and nothing will ever be quite so exciting again. Sorry - not a good day today.

I love sunny Septembers and all the leaves falling in glorious autumn colours, as long as it doesn't rain.
At the moment it's still warm and sunny here, shorts and tee shirts for lots of people, except the smart women who've bought their autumn wardrobe and are determined to wear it now!

Love Autumn/Winter, no more tossing and turning at night because it's too hot, no more muggy weather that has you sweating streams doing the smallest task, no more hedge cutting, no more smelly barbecues.
Kids are back in school and the nights drawing in, no more footballs being belted against the fence or "I'm going to tell Mum...." or falling outs that all the neighbourhood has to hear (do wish people would think about windows/doors being open).
Pull the curtains, turn on the fire (no Central heating either) and enjoy the peace!

I shall miss Summer- but I absolutely love autumns here so yes, it will be nice when it comes.

Decided that I just would not 'do' November this year- and hopefully never again- only month in the year I hate- so will be going back to Spring mid November - and then come back just in time for Christmas and a 'proper' winter I hope, with lots of white fluffy snow.

Bring it on! - I love wrapping up and getting into my boots. Mind you come February I'll be longing for Spring.......

Early autumn is usually our best season weather wise here. Mild and mostly dry days, whereas I spend summers hoping the temperature will rise above 18C, warm enough to take off the sweaters. November is my least favourite month, though. No redeeming features at all. Dark, wet, cold and miserable.

We have had a wonderful crop of apples this year and DH has made lots of blackberry and apple jam. So yes, I enjoy September and October. But my favourite is May!

Noooooooooo don't want summer to end its still nice here but not so warm Winter is so long in my Victorian house with no central heating I don't like early darkness love being out late in the light, bright evenings Summer was late starting for us but it's been beautiful for the last 6 weeks or more don't ever want it to stop I m greedy I want more please Winter is so long and so depressing I don't hate Autumn but it's just the forerunner of winter and nudges me into knowing its round the corner

Not really, it's not that I don't like Autumn, it can be a wonderful season, it's just that it's a lead into winter, the most dreary of all the seasons, especially when those clock go back. Winter goes on too long, it reminds us another year has passed, which seem to be whizzing by now at an extraordinary rate and then of course to crown it all, Christmas! which I don't dislike in itself, just the over the top rampant commercialism that we get over here in the UK.

No - I hate the autumn. I hate dark mornings and nights, lights on earlier, being cold. Hate it

The advantage of living abroad means that autumn is later in coming. At the moment we have long sunny days with temperatures reaching up to 30C for the next two weeks. Packing away summer clothes and sandals is not likely to be before the end of October and maybe the fires will be lit sometime in November. Summer clothes will be needed for a bit longer this year as we are off to Florida for 3 weeks at the end of October.

What I do miss is the changing colours of autumn. Most of the trees around here are coniferous so we dont get the beautiful colour changes of the trees before they finally drop their leaves.

I love a sunny September, but hate it when the clocks go back and turning the heating on. I like changing my wardrobe, but don't like packing my summer stuff away. I like the contrasting seasons, but on balance, prefer the summer.

Noooo! Horrible, Love the summer.

You cannot beat a bright autumn day - blue sky, sun low in the sky, golden leaves - wonderful!

We are waiting to see what the wood behind our new bungalow looks like when the trees turn - and to enjoy the views of the Black Mountains when the leaves fall.

Yes yes yes! Love it. Roll on the dark nights in front of the fire with something good on TV. Bliss.

No, no and no☹

I love autumn. It's goodbye to swollen feet that I can't get into my comfiest shoes, insect bites, and most of my eczema. I find it easy to keep warm but very difficult to keep cool.

Went out this morning in linen trousers (and other clothes and felt quite chilly. So soon be back to the lovely jersey trousers and cosy jackets. Also the tickets arrived for this year's panto that my grandchildren love. Couldn't be much happier.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. In case you hadn't gathered, I love autumn. At the first sight of a brown leaf, the first day with the yellow autumnal sunlight, my heart sings.

The winter's firewood was delivered this morning and the lovely brown/grey heap sits on the drive waiting to be moved to the woodshed. The blackberries are nearly over (less happy about that, it has been a very short season, and I have lots of apples).

Must end here, I am just off to find a copy of Keat's Ode to Autumn, I always read and reread it this time of year.

I love sunny Autumn days like today with the air so fresh and clear. It takes my mind off the prospect of the long, dark evenings to come. Also, I no longer need to live in hope of any sort of decent Summer weather and the shorts can be packed away for good. Happy days.

I loved school and hated the long summer holidays. As a child I loved to read, but I wasn't allowed to during the summer when I was forced instead to 'go out and play'. Every year I looked forward to the autumn when the days would grow ever shorter and I could read to my heart's content. I used to walk miles, even in pea-souper fogs, to change my books at the library. Nowadays I still have the same excitement as summer draws to an end and I look forward to the changes in diet, clothes and habits. Autumn remains my favourite season by far.

Ana, the forecast only has to say snow in Scotland and I'm off , and I am in Wales . Then the tv covers New York hit by snow and sure as hell some idiot will say , we will get it next

Noooooo! All the darkness looms as does bloomin' Christmas. Roll on Spring!

Our summers are pretty much as you described Spring Granny23 One nice warm day (when you think here comes summer) followed by a massive disappointment. I seem to have spent all summer telling the grandchildren that they can have the paddling pool out "when summer comes" and it never has.

I'm a September baby too. So it's "my" month. Last day, in fact. I like the smell of burning leaves, the dew, the mists, and the lovely golden chestnut trees which always turn first. Wearing warmer clothes means means a change of wardrobe. No tights though. Never before my birthday and only if I rarely wear a skirt. I usually go without socks too unless I'm wearing boots. I try to ignore the forthcoming season beloved (why???) of so many people, and just enjoy the changes in nature going on. I light the open fire occasionally but only when it's really cold as I don't like dealing with the mess next day. So I'm happy with Autumn.

I hate autumn/winter, so cold dark and gloomy, bare leafless trees, I feel like I'm living under a cloud until I see the fist buds coming on the trees. Truly hate it!

I love it!
