What is your favourite season of the year?

Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer. I love boots, heavy jumpers and Christmas.
I hate being too hot.

Autumn, Spring, Winter then Summer not a great one for the heat and a hay fever sufferer!

Every seasons has something to offer, and I like them in this order -

Autumn - colours, and the fading glory of flowers and plants, the sun is getting lower and the light is changing, love the sunny days and cold nights. Best make the most of it, as it will soon be....

Winter - as it gets into December, I can see the sun rise over the old pit top, from my bedroom window. This is a good start to the day, and I love love love getting my boots on, hat, gloves, etc, and going out for the morning with my dogs. I love the skeletons of the trees, so much more interesting than when in leaf. Love the early sunsets, lighting the stove, being anti social, and it's also a welcome break from gardening !

Spring - seeing the nettles break through the soil on the allotment, means things are waking up, there will be digging too, mulching, feeding, seed sowing, watering, it is an endless task. The dawn chorus comes back, and the sun is getting warmer.

Summer - shorts and tee shirts, watering on the allotment, the first new potatoes, jars of raspberry jam, taking the dogs down the river to cool off. Having to be more sociable and visit people!

I find autumn strangely exciting, especially kicking through piles of crisp autumn leaves. It takes me back to my childhood!
September is a great time to catch up with friends after the holidays and October is often warm and we get an extra hour in bed. Come November I love the bonfires and fireworks, then my birthday and the anticipation of Christmas.

My favourite is spring when the flowers come out and the lighter nights are here. I don't even mind if it is cold in the spring as the flowers are here. I hate autumn. Yes, it is the start of the dark nights.

Autumn is my favourite, but every season has something special about it.

Spring when everything is fresh and new, the season of birth and optimism, Spring for me for me.

Late Spring/ Early Summer - (May/June)/

I like late Spring when it is usually very warm here but not too hot. I do like the other seasons for different reasons. This year we have had a poor Summer. Plenty of sun, hardly any rain but not hot enough for much of a swim. Today, as I look out, it is sunny and 28C which is perfect but it hasn’t been that nice earlier this week. We desperately need rain. I am sick of having to water the garden which sounds nuts but you have to do it almost every day or things start to die.

I love all the seasons, winter is my least favourite as my weary arthritic bones feel sore and stiff when it is cold and damp!

Love Autumn most but love the turning of the seasons. I could never live anywhere that didn't have "proper" seasons. There is something to love about each one. My nightmare would be living in a continually hot climate. Love getting away for some winter sun though in February.

Spring is lovely, the earth waking up and blossoming, what is better than the wonder of nature. Everyday there is a bit more waking up and hearing the birds singing. Fabulous.

Summer for me. Long days, short nights, warm balmy evenings and NO FOOTBALL!!!

I love every season, and am thrilled to be alive to experience everything that each has to offer.
Spring - watching the birds make their nests and raise their young.
Summer - long balmy evenings in the garden (well, we can hope!)
Autumn - seeing the leaves on the trees turn to glorious reds and golds.
Winter - cosy evenings snuggled up in front of the fire.
