Summer’s over! (I hope)

I like our summers, but I’m off to Australia in November, and not coming back until the beginning of February. I will miss most of our winter, but I would prefer to be cold, rather than too hot. One day, last time I visited, it reached 46C in Sydney! Even the air-con couldn’t cope, so we took refuge in the local shopping mall for the afternoon!
I like our Spring best, when all the plants are putting out new leaves, and the bulbs are flowering.

I prefer spring and autumn as I don't handle the summer heat veryy well.
Since I retired 4 yrs ago I have dramatically reduced the numbercof clothes I have, so no need to pack away any, I just keep them all in the wardrobe and cupboard. I need t- shirts all year round anyway as DH has the house so hot I wear summer clothes all year indoors.

No, far too early to put away summer clothes. It’s certainly not cold yet. Beautiful sunshine here today, and washing blowing in the gentle breeze.

My gorgeous quirky linen pinifore dresses are worn all year...jumpers in winter and tees in summer are as my dungarees. I don't really have summer and winter wardrobes. I do have far too many clothes though...week off work...going to get stuck in. Mind you I should be using this sunny day to cut wood...

NOOO! I hate winter.
Luckily we still have warm sunny weather today although we had showers yesterday.
I'm in shorts & a sleeveless top & am in no rush at all to get out the warmer clothes!
Winter is so long. Summer just flies by.

Love the summer went out for cream tea Saturday overlooking Malvern hills than walked it of walking to the ridge and british camp on the Malvern hills glorious.Weekend going away to peak district so hope this wonderful indian summer continues.Hate the winter that why bookedxa cruise to go to New Zealandcand Australia will be there late spring and towards the early summer bliss

My wardrobe stays the same all year round. I simply layer up or down accordingly. Really rather dislike autumn in that I see it as harbinger to winter which I somewhat tolerate (or survive!) but certainly never enjoy. I get through it by arranging more meetings with friends and family or having them to stay. I've heard it said that disliking the cold is an age thing but I didn't enjoy it as a child either. I remember my Mum saying 'one snowman and that was it for you'. I now manage even without the snowman! I'm currently making the most of every bit of sunshine and mildness each day offers. A very beautiful day with me here and I will be out in it shortly. Yippee!

I actually cry when summers over.but I do think I have SAD

Autumn is the best time of year for me; golden sunshine, clear blue skies, gentle breezes, stunning foliage, and the ability to get a good night's sleep. How anyone can like feeling sweaty and overheated, not to mention exhausted after tossing and turning all night in a humid bedroom absolutely beats me. Once August is over I feel my mood lifting and I start looking out the clothes I like best!

It’s lovely here in the SE the rain isn’t coming into later thank goodness. Yesterday was miserable cloudy and showery but cleared up in the afternoon.
I love the sunshine but not that really hot weather and having had a few weeks of an Indian summer have really enjoyed it.
I think this makes the winter shorter if the weather stays sunny and warm. Hoping it’s coming back not getting any winter clothes out yet. Have long sleeved t shirts and jeans if it turns a bit cooler.

I love the summer but spring and autumn are my faves....now im getting bored with my summer clothes and want to wear my new ones....I love seasalt..... btw, they have the £10,£15 or £25 off , depending how much you spend offer atm...

I much prefer winter clothes - thick tights and boots. I never feel quite comfortable in summer stuff. I'd rather cover up these days.

I love September but it's only really just started here. T shirts up to the day before yesterday.

There doesn't seem to be what the Germans call "Übergang" any more. One day you're swimming in the lake, the next you've lit the fire in the lounge. This is also noticeable in Spring - Easter can be cold and wet, even snow, and a week later you've got the garden furniture out.

So layers it is.

Well I’m still waiting patiently for my summer to start . It hasn’t been up to much in the North East this year .

I have my trusty thermals ready but am hanging into summer and still wearing linen. Attended a birthday party in London over the weekend and it was pretty warm even into the evening. But have two old cashmere sweaters ready to come out for Autumn. I love them and always feel warm and cosy in them without the weight. I need to learn how to darn as one has moth holes!

I'm with maw!

I bought a grey coatigan at the end of last year and I'm really looking forward to wearing it but I also have my eye on the Seasalt boiled wool jacket.

I hated wearing coats until recently but I have a bit of an obsession now.

I like autumn, spring and summer, some aspects of winter I like, lighting the fires, snuggling up with a good book, bonfire night, but I hate driving to and from work in the dark, I hate being cold, I hate that the last thing I do in the morning before leaving is go around the house opening the curtains, and the first thing I do when I get home is close them again. Depressing.

That's lovely Maw, perhaps I'll see you in it! I have one from M&S.
I think I might wait and do a wardrobe swap over at some time during October. Hate putting summer stuff away, but I agree the season is over for white trousers!
I noticed how dark it was this morning when I woke up, and I don't like it. Hate the nights drawing in too. Still, three months until the shortest day and then we're back on the downward run to summer!

Crikey - it's just clothes! I'll fish out some cardigans but, as long as I'm comfortable, I really can't be bothered with a major change or clear out. There are too many (far more) interesting things to do!

I dread summer, and am glad to see the back of it. Being hot is so uncomfortable, and it is much easier to warm up than to cool down. Above all, I much prefer winter clothes. Interesting textures, and at my age I look much better covered up. Ageing bare flesh is not a pretty sight.

Only problem is, I have recently moved into a flat that is so well heated that even a cardigan is not really necessary. I miss my big draughty house from a clothes point of view (though it’s nice not to have cold feet).

I think I look forward to all seasons equally. Like Maw I enjoy getting ready for winter. I too have bought some Sea salt clothes, tunics to wear with leggings or tights. But then I like getting my summer clothes washed and ironed ready for that season.
We have a cosy house with a log burner and I like the smell of the wood ready in the log basket. Every season is special in its own way. By February I shall be looking for signs of spring.

I hate winter, love the summer. I don't suffer from as much pain in my joints when it's warm . I love the early sunrises and the late sunsets, being able to get out and about in the light, walking the dog and being able to see where I am going , putting washing out to dry and knowing it will dry , the list is endless. I like not having to put layers on to keep warm and snow should only be seen once on Christmas morning and then it should melt away. Sorry, but I dread winter.

I love autumn and winter with darker nights and cuddling up in thicker clothes so I don't have to think about covering up without overheating! I got some new fleece bedding the other day and couldn't wait until it was colder to put it on so it's already looking sumptuous on my bed - the cat loves it

Both my sons were born this month in Indian summers and I love the early morning chill in the air which brings back memories of setting off for school as a child and later walking to work. I even quite like walking in the rain if I'm dressed for it but do hate the wind!

Layers, are the answer to uncertain weather.

It's far too a bit too busy for my taste, once worn, never forgotten.
3 outings and everyone in the vicinity will know who's coming from a mile away...but for some who like vigorous patterns...it will be perfect.
It's a certain kinda someone who shops at Boden, Seasalt, Joules et al...
Lots of 'em on here.
