Anyone else enjoying the change in the air?

Oh Autumn, how I’ve missed you. So many great events in Autumn and Winter to look forward to. Autumn is the best assault on my senses - wind and rain on the face, the chance of colours, and the brilliant noise as you crunch through the forest. And the start of mornings with the crisp fresh smell in the air. Never mind how great those dark nights are for stargazing, and feeling cosy.

Winter is a close second in my affections. It’s getting colder, the nights are drawing in, and I am here for it!

Yeah absolutely, cannot wait to get the boots and tights on! Love a crisp autumnal / winter walk.

Agree. I love summer but there’s something magical about the transition to autumn and the subtle little changes.

I do some volunteering on Sunday morning at a local park and last Sunday there was a tangible difference. It was still lovely warm weather but there’s something magical was a subtle shift so you knew it was heading to autumn: golden leaves, spiders webs on the bushes and a different smell in the air.

Wonderful. We are so lucky to have defined seasons in the UK.

I'm in Ireland so different weather but I too love camping in Autumn, I didn’t get away this summer so am desperately hoping for some nice dry Autumn weather to indulge in a few weekends away, I love the forests when the leaves are falling and there's a bite in the air, a decent sleeping bag and proper clothes makes camping fun in chillier weather but I hate the rain and how much extra work it entails. Friends were away last weekend and they ended up with tents on clothes lines, hanging over baths and stairs in attempts to dry them when they got home, one didn't get hers dried quick enough and its become smelly, it won't put me off but I'll be praying for dryness rather than warmth. A cool evening, a camp fire, some nice food and good friends (am just as happy alone sometimes) makes for a lovely time.

I hate autumn. Soon it will be dark early and it just feels like everyone goes into hibernation, where I live you see everyone out and about in summer but once autumn comes it feels like a ghost town. I also hate going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark.

Roll on spring, that’s my favourite season followed by summer.

I love autumn weather but dread Christmas, so I have mixed feelings tbh…!

I love all the seasons and the transition from one to the other! It always feels like a fresh start and nice change.

Yep! My favourite time of year, cannot wait for the leaves to start changing because the colours are beautiful.

As someone who works in education though, I am slightly devastated the summer holidays are over 🤣

That sounds like a nightmare. I don't understand all these people who love living in Arrakis.

I love it. Autumn is my favourite season, followed by Spring. It's not just the cooler temperatures, it is the quality of the air and the way the air smells different. I love walking through the crisp leaves, as well.

Or you could move somewhere with a more congenial climate.

Yes, I had my old lady blanket over me watching tv last night 😁

Autumn's my favourite season . Heatwaves mean more freckles and bright red skin, have never tanned.

Yesss I love autumn. Love being more comfortable love wrapping up. We’ve had such a lovely summer which I’ve adored so I feel so ready for some snugglyness!

I lived and worked in the Middle East for a few years. Seasons were hot and hotter with a few sandstorms.
I love all seasons and enjoy the changes.

Me, me, pick me miss!

Loving being able to go in the garden and not feel like a stuck pig within 5 minutes. My lawn has completely died and I have spent all my gardening time just trying to make things survive. Finally I can do something more creative in it.

My hair won't be constantly sweaty, I can use a duvet, no one will have to suffer my pasty legs, and I can open the curtains and windows during the day.

I love autumn!

Not really.

The darkness and humidity affect my mood and I can suffer quite a bit from SAD that my lamp can only do so much to keep at bay.

It makes a lot of things harder - drying washing, upkeep of the garden, more moisture and colder temperatures hasten decay. My hair is practically unstylable most of autumn and winter because even a tiny bit of moisture get it frizzy.

People are less friendly, and, crucially, far less likely to pick up their dog shit - a particular issue around here.

Outside events are less likely to be enjoyable in the drizzle.

No! Bring back Summer!

Oh yes that and the return of mens tops!

Me too. The endless months of cold damp weather can just get in the bin.

Urgh no I hate autumn and winter. Bring back summer!

I’m loving the cooler weather. I can enjoy running again and our animals are much happier. We will be putting the autumn decor out this weekend. 🍂

No. I want the 30 degree warm winds back please.

Yes. I went for the most gorgeous run yesterday. 6am, clear sky, nip in the air!

I’m a spring and summer person through and through and usually dread autumn and winter. But this year I’ve been enjoying the change to cooler days and rain. I’m even looking forward to getting some pumpkin decs out. I don’t know what’s come over me!
