I want something Autumnal. But I don't know what.

I'm tired, aching and grouchy and want something autumny and comforting but I don't know what. Anyone care to make a suggestion?

What do I want? A pumpkin mug? To go conker collecting? A string of felted bat lights? A new blanket? A spiced hot chocolate? Candles? A witch costume?

If anyone can work out what I'm after I'd be grumpily grateful.

Ooh don’t know about you but you’ve prompted me to order a White Company autumn scented candle 👍

Mulled wine

Apple crumble with custard
An outfit with a big softy jumper, corduroy skirt, comfy tights and wellies where you can kick leaves
A glass of red wine reading The Secret History in a bubble bath, then wearing super soft flannel pyjamas to bed

A corduroy bag from Uniqlo.

Boyonthenres · 21/09/2023 14:16

Felted bat lights! 🦇 😀

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 21/09/2023 14:18

Casserole with dumplings. Fish and chips with gravy and buttered bread. A warm, snuggly jumper, fluffy socks and a cuddly cat.

CharlotteRumpling · 21/09/2023 14:21

New JK Rowling Strike novel is out soon, if you like her. Can that be autumnal?

PeppermintPiggy · 21/09/2023 14:24

A Velvetiser
A walk in the woods
A Sunday pub roast

SendARavenToRiverRun · 21/09/2023 14:27

I've been feeling similar. I ordered the cheesiest book on my kindle. Its called 'The pumpkin spice cafe'. Its so naff and so cringey. I'm loving it 🤣 Was only 99p as well. Also treated myself to a pumpkin mug and some maple syrup coffee syrup. Any of those tick your box?

TeaMistress · 21/09/2023 14:27

Bubble bath or a bath with some lovely autumnal scented bath oils. Cup of tea while in the bath and something soothing on radio.

A cord jacket or dress.

This is exactly what I am after. A cord blazer.

EllaMenopee · 21/09/2023 14:29

A big bowl of stewed apple and custard. Has to be premade custard, the yoghurt pot type one, cold from the fridge on top of hot stewed apple. Add a bit of cloves/cinnamon for a festive hug in a bowl.

Defiantlynot41 · 21/09/2023 14:29

A lovely blanket from Welsh Otter? Or So Cosy?

You definitely need a walk in the autumn sunshine. The berries on the hedges look amazing at rhe moment. Take a picture and use it as a seasonal screensaver

Bluevelvetsofa · 21/09/2023 14:35

Chocolate

But that applies all year.

ValerieDoonican · 21/09/2023 14:36

And you're just in time to pick the last blackberries before the devil spits on them

Desecratedcoconut · 21/09/2023 14:38

Fresh stationery, new boots and apple pie with custard.

fiddlesticksandotherwords · 21/09/2023 14:40

You need what we ate yesterday. Steak pie, mash, carrots, peas and gravy.

RaininSummer · 21/09/2023 14:41

I feel autumnal this week as I have made candles, a rhubarb crumble, put conkers and decorative pumpkins on display and and making a warm toasty, crochet, sofa hoodie.

Switchingoff · 21/09/2023 14:41

Autumnal candle
luxury hot chocolate
heated blanket

CornedBeef451 · 21/09/2023 14:42

Now I want apple crumble with cinnamon and lots of custard!

I'd also like a cosy blanket and possibly some warmer slippers.
