Nights are drawing in cant wait

Justmuddlingalong · 04/08/2019 21:54

Yes. Really dark here tonight in NE Scotland. I've had my summer holidays so I'm quite ready for autumn arriving. 🍁

ExpletiveDelighted · 04/08/2019 21:54

I thought that tonight too, first blackberries picked this week as well, it does feel as though the season is turning.

zackly · 04/08/2019 21:55

I'm happy to wait another month!

I do love autumn though.

LeekMunchingSheepShagger · 04/08/2019 21:56

I haven't had my summer holiday yet!

SinglePringle · 04/08/2019 22:00

Do one! It’s still summer and I’m sitting in shorts and a vest with all the doors and windows open!

Autumn starts on 20th Sept. TruFax!

AnyFucker · 04/08/2019 22:00

My summer holiday isn't for another 6 weeks but I expect Autumn will be well underway when we get back (end Sept)

Where ish are you in ne Scotland?

TalkToMeAboutSocialWorkPlease · 04/08/2019 22:03

Oh yes, every day is a bit darker and a bit better. I've noticed the early mornings are darker too, more so than the evenings. It's all good!

This is for London.

Yes and I love it - hoping for an Indian summer after spending a small fortune on my tiny garden last month - haven’t really been able to sit out there much!

Nkcofo · 04/08/2019 22:07

Sunset about 30mins ago here N Scotland.
I hate it when winter rolls around and it's dark ridiculously early.

Justmuddlingalong · 04/08/2019 22:08

@OhioOhioOhio I'm in Fife.

AudacityOfHope · 04/08/2019 22:08

It's dark now in NE Fife. Lots of spiders appeared today which makes me feel like we're heading towards autumn. I love it!

homemadecommunistrussia · 04/08/2019 22:09

Great isn't it?
Night time should be dark and cool, I hate the 4 am starts and sweaty nights.

AnyFucker · 04/08/2019 22:10

In recent weeks it's been too hot to use my garden. Hoping for a cool down. I am watching Handmaids Tale with my patio doors open. It is pitch black outside and there is a cool breeze coming in. Lovely.

Particularly noticeable today, as it started tipping it down early evening and the light went

And it's well over a month since the Longest Day

SaxxedtotheMax · 04/08/2019 22:12

Give it a few weeks & we can go shopping for Trick or Treat outfits Shock

LifeOfBox · 04/08/2019 22:12

Me too, sat by the open French doors eating chocolate and having a glass of wine listening to the Beekeeper of Aleppo.

Very cool and lovely (esp welcome at my age).

LoafofSellotape · 04/08/2019 22:14

We have lovely big blackberries in the garden Smile

ExpletiveDelighted · 04/08/2019 22:23

I must admit although I hate the heat of summer I like the light mornings and evenings, I love being able to go to the allotment for an hour after dinner or just sit out on the patio.

AnyFucker · 04/08/2019 22:24

You still can. For now.

It is and it's very depressing.

Leftiefterson · 04/08/2019 22:35

Eeeek I love it! Autumn/winter are such lovely seasons. It brings out the romantic in me and stops me from overeating/drinking like I do in the summer months.

Femodene · 04/08/2019 22:41

I can’t wait for the day trippers to leave this area in peace and I can put a proper duvet on the bed and not be drenched in sweat and have to sleep wearing an eye mask, with daylight searing my eyes for 18 hours a day and night. The lovely cocoon of dark and proper clothes, gorgeous leaves and crisp air await.

Blackcountrychik83 · 04/08/2019 22:44

We've only just got into August 😮 August is meant to be still summer... Seems like we've only had a couple of weeks of sun this year and I've been in work for most of it. I'm like a milk bottle!! Please don't say summer is over already?!
