Happy Autumn

Autumn is just the best of all seasons. A friend once said she didn't like autumn as she found it too poignant. I think that's exactly why I do love it so much. Poignancy in a blaze of colour.

No.
It's grey, it's miserable and I think I might need a cardigan.

24 or 25C all year round would suit me

Are you sitting right in my house? That’s exactly the weather here today, although I can add light rain to it! I’m debating whether to put on some socks.

It started raining right after I posted.
The garden's loving it. The fuchsias are flowering well at last.

Another Autumn fan here. This summer has nearly creased me with the looong stretch of blisteringly hot days. I welcome the cooler weather and generally feel better because of it.
Only 2 downsides. One is that my evening jaunts are curtailed as I can no longer cope with LED searchlights on vehicles and the other is spiders!

I love this thread!
I've struggled with the heat and found this summer a real challenge - I live in the southeast.

I like autumn and spring best.
I'm glad I live in a country that has distinct seasons.

Autumn is my favourite season but in my opinion it doesn’t start until much later in the month………no autumnal decorations going up here until at least 23rd September

I find summers increasingly difficult, I used to love them but not any longer, indeed I count the days until autumn, and am sorry to see spring go. I like lighter nights but not the rest of it, the heatwaves, the crowds, the droughts, the threat of fires. Only recently have I been able to sleep and go out with my DH and cook. This summer was like lockdown in London, other parts of the UK may have escaped it.
So relieved it is the first of September. Finally I can relax.

Exactly!
It probably felt different to those in the North, but down in the South East it was unbearable.

I was a June baby so I love the light nights, sitting outside in the garden and cafes, going out without a coat. I hate the dark, drawing the curtains at the end of the afternoon, bundling up in warm clothes.

Snap I am a July baby.

I love the summer, the feel of sunshine, being able to go out without a boot full of jumpers, coats, umbrellas etc., just in case

I can cope with Autumn and winter when the sky is blue, even if it is cold. However, wind, rain, and grey skies really affect my mood and general outlook on life.

Autumn does not start until 21st September so there are 3 weeks to go. Idk where 1st September idea has come from this year.

It's the start of meteorological autumn.

I love the red berries, but the Rowans came very early this year, because of the heat.
Autumn means the start of our Clubs and hobbies. Time to catch up after tbe summer break.
And Hallowe'en.

I’ve hated the summer and am so happy September is here with autumn arriving soon.

I feel I can breathe again, after this long sweltering summer.,
I love the mellow and Misty mornings, beautiful colourful countryside, earthy conkers and chestnuts, so shiny.
Home to the woodburner, curtains drawn, cost evenings and proper warming dinners. (So sick of salads and bar b ques.).

This is my happy time of the year.

I like Autumn, especially the smells in the air.

I was feeling cold, so I have turned the heating on for the first time this year 😫

I’m afraid of the dark and now that I am Old I hate having to go out in it, which gets very limiting. I also hate dark mornings. I don’t like alarm clocks but don’t wake naturally until it’s light.

But I do love the changing seasons and hope that climate change won’t erode that.

Autumn is my favourite season, summer my least favourite. I love the cosiness of this time of year, and the first day that seems really autumnal gives me the same sort of thrill that I gather most other people feel in Spring

While I love the crisp air and comfortable temps, I don't like the endless rain we get here on the west coast. It seems to have started.

I've got socks and cardigan on for the first time in ages. I did just get a burnt orange pedicure hoping to wear sandals well into September!

Autumn is my second favourite season, Spring is my favourite.

But I do love the tree leaves changing colours and the moderate temperatures.

I don’t like the drawing in of the evening/nights though.

I like spring best. Around Maytime. Hope for the summer still in the air - which might yet be displaced if it’s too hot and humid or a washout.

I love the changing of the seasons. They all have something I can enjoy. Long, sunny summer evenings and short winter nights all have something special.
Just as Im starting to get a bit fed up everything changes.

I suspect that I was a lizard in a previous life!

Autumn and winter are my favourite seasons, I love wind and I love rain and I’m even quite fond of the cold because you can wrap up against the cold. There’s not a lot you can do when you’re being boiled alive like we’ve been this summer……🥵🥵🥵🥵

No. I love the spring and summer. Autumn depresses me, everything in the garden is dying, the days are getting shorter and it’s getting colder and raining, months of spending most time inside are ahead, I don’t get what is there to like about that.

I’m exactly the same, my favourite season is Spring, followed by Summer then Autumn and lastly Winter. I can’t stand the dark nights and wrapping up to go outside. The worst time is January and February which to me are the ‘nothing’ months. I guess we’re all different
