Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness

Spring for me - new beginnings.

Notagran, I actually LONG for Autumn to come, and the first day I can feel it, it almost makes me cry with joy!

I love when the crops are in and the fields are left stubble- my dogs can get into top gear, and once the temperature drops below 15 degrees and I need a fleece I’m happiest, and so are my dogs. Stove can be lit of a cold evening, bliss. Slow cooker dinners, and soup making, pickles, jams, to make from surplus allotment goodies.

September and October best months of the year, I would rather have a cold crisp sunny day than any amount of summer sunshine.

I love spring going into summer, so April - June. Love the blossom and promise of warmer days. But my colours are Autumn, red, orange and gold.

We’ve just had a beautiful autumnal walk.
Warm sunshine , woods and fields.
Blackberries, elderberries, cob nuts , red and golden leaves.

Bright red berries hanging in bowers.

Little pooch running and sniffing.

We didn’t see a soul and we were out for 2 hours.

Glorious, golden autumn. ?????

Spring for me. Season of newness and promise. Autumn suggests downhill all the way for me with only some beautiful colouring to enhance it.

I agree with those sentiments.
Mind you, it’s more like Summer at the moment, we walked by the river today and then sat outside a cafe in the sun, it was hot.

I’m a September baby and coincidentally, when I had my ‘colours’ done, I also suit an autumn colour palette. Sometimes autumn infuses me with melancholy, the dying of the year. Yet it also has the most magnificent of days, full of colour and warmth.

I never really used to mind which season was which but now I find winter increasing hard, especially the cold, dull months of the new year.

I like autumn and spring almost equally, but I detest the whole build-up to xmas, which seems to begin earlier and earlier ever year, and xmas itself. Not a fan of bonfire night either - causes far too much misery to animals (and many people too).

I have favourite bits of each season, but sadly they all seem to be merging into each other these days.I like autumn for the crispness of the air, the colours of the leaves, and the nights drawing in to make you feel cosy..And my GD is named Autumn.and yes its when she was born.?

I'm looking forward to soup for my lunch when the weather is cooler Witzend
My husband makes excellent soup especially French onion.
It's still hot here, I have the fan going as we speak.

I am Autumn born, but it's spring and summer that I love.
I do enjoy the colours of autumn but not the nights drawing in and the knowledge that winter is just around the corner

I love Autumn as it hails an end to Summer. I love the colours. The feeling of needing to get back into routines. The Autumn sunshine. Autumnal walks. Then I love a quick change into Winter. I love Winter for the dark nights and the rushing home to lamps on candles lit casseroles on the stove blankets on the settee and snuggling up. Winter Walks when the sun can be kind and make you feel glad to be alive. And just as you get to the point where you have had enough of the dark and cold and dreariness Spring shows itself. The bulbs start pushing up as the days start lengthening. Just watching nature starting with her hardworking again.and all the months ahead to look forward to and the light nights.
Summer is my least favourite season. I always look forward and dread it at the same time. Debilitating hayfever. The sun too hot to handle. But i love the blue skys and days out and the relief of getting off the rat race for a while with the Summer holidays.
I love the seasons in Britain.even though it does feel like Old Mother Shipton's prophecies are coming true and all the seasons are rolling into one.

I love the run up to Christmas and all the excuses for celebration, plus it’s start over time in the garden - my passion, so excuse to plan and replant.

So already got Halloween and bonfire night arranged with family. Our traditional get together with fireworks, the chiminea alight, always have the same meal with chocolate and fudge dips for fruit and wafers for pudding. Been doing it for years. GS s now 17 and 21 and each year I assume they are too old, but now bringing girlfriends?.

Then of course Christmas?

It is Spring here and I love it. Bright and sunny and coolish and all the blossom trees are out as well as the azaleas and rhododendrons, spectacular.

Autumn, very definitely. I don’t like summer because I hate heat, but spring and winter are all right. Autumn’s best, though. - exciting, somehow, though I can’t quite pin down why.l.

I’ve always liked it, at least partly from leftover childhood anticipation of Bonfire Night (Halloween wasn’t much of a thing then) and the run up to C*******s.
I still enjoy those (almost) as much as ever. Not sure it’s 2nd childhood any more, probably more like my 3rd.

I love Autumn. The chilly mornings and evenings make walking much more pleasant than the heat of summer. Autumn colours are my favourite too. I like winter also. It feels like a cosy time when you can come home after a frosty walk to the warmth of the house.

I hate winter, I don’t like the cold, or the dark and short days - except when it’s bright and frosty which seems to be very few days compared to the dank gloom. All the other seasons are beautiful in their own way. The best days for me are when it’s warm enough to sit outside in the evening, that’s like a mini holiday.

And I noticed a lot of holly berries already red on my usual walk - those that get plenty of sun anyway. I always go armed with secateurs to pick some once we’re into December, for a winter arrangement in a copper bowl which gets polished once a year for the purpose.

Season of mists and mellow ‘soupfulness’ in this house. I always enjoy making really thick, warming cold-weather soups with lots of different veg and pearl barley, etc.

Not just yet though - it’s still very mild here, and sunny this morning. Must go on a blackberry hunt later.

Lots of my little winter cyclamen are out - they have spread over the years and one is poking its little head up out of the lawn. Must remind dh not to behead it when he cuts the grass.

Autumn for me as well. I love Winter too.

I love the soft glowing light of Autumn, much kinder on my eyes than bright summer sunshine. I do love summer heat though!

Me too, NotAGran55. I'm an autumn birthday girl too.
I love the fresher air, especially first thing in the mornings, and the autumn leaves. There was hazy sunshine yesterday and it was not too hot.
Each season has it's good and bad. I love our seasons.

I prefer spring with all the new green buds and the promise of things to come. High summer is too opulent.

I dislike autumn which brings mud and soggy leaves (love crisp dry ones, though), the evenings drawing in and the migrant birds leaving.

Spring and Autumn are my favourites. I’m not good with very hot or very cold temperatures.

I love autumn, particularly September.

Although these days, there seems to be far less transition from summer to winter and autumn is reduced to a few days. I think it was last year when there was no September at all until about halfway through October. The leaves hadn't even started changing!.

This year the birds were already gathering on the trees and telegraph wires in August.
