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.

A cord skirt, 50 denier tights and brown leather ankle boots.

Gravy with fish & chips ?

Oh yes. It’s divine. But it’s got to be thick gravy not thin. Probably a northern thing. Although you can by chip shop gravy in most big supermarkets.

Hot buttered crumpets with a mug of tea. Brew Brew

But more importantly, buy ( or beg one from a Great Aunt ) a brooch, to glam up that cord or tweed jacket.

I've added smoked salt to my shopping list!

So now I have bought candles and leaf lights cos of you lot!

I did however buy a jewel coloured cord bag which now, according to this thread, makes me very on trend!

In honour of this thread, I bought a bottle of Badedas and went Autumnal with my nails.

@Seychal that sounds like a lovely, and very productive, way to spend the day 🥰

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie fabulous nails!

An autumn wreath for the front door
Burgundy accessories (nails/scarf/bag/coat)
Fairy lights
Watch a feel good film with an autumn feel to it

Thanks @lucysmam I'm so pleased with them!

This is a great thread.

I have that smoked salt - love it on everything!

Also I now need a pumpkin necklace.

I've found a lovely pattern to knit myself a new bobble hat, but sadly none of the million miles of yarn I already have will do, so I'm on a chunky, colourful merino wool hunt.

Great autumn film recommendations? I always find When Harry Met Sally hits the spot (good Christmas feel too).

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 25/09/2023 21:07

I always think, ‘When Harry Met Sally’ is best for New Year’s Eve.

Yes, that too! (Peter's Friends is also an excellent NYE watch)
