Autumn Days

What are the things you love about Autumn? Mine are:

Jewelled grass
The inside of a chestnut shell
Pareidolia
The smell of bacon, and rain
Knackered shoes
Swallows
The milkman singing
A car engine recovering from a stall
Minnows
My team winning a match
Apple pie
When the moon has rings
Mid-air refuelling of jet planes

I’m not entertaining the joys of autumn for a month - it’s not even August for another half an hour!

(Otherwise I would ask you why the knackered shoes and the refuelling planes are autumnal).

Bacon and rain indeed. Oh, aye 😏

SockQueen · 31/07/2025 23:36

You mustn't forget to say a great big thank you.

Unless you went to a British primary school in the 90s in which case it might make perfect sense!

I say a great big thank you (to Jesus? It was never clear who we were meant to be thanking, but one presumes...) every day.

Well, the 80s in my case, but I'm not sure it made much sense then either.

Ok I went to primary school in the 90s and it's not making sense!

If I'm missing something please explain it!

Has to be a win for my home team!

Lancasterel · 31/07/2025 23:49

Total banger, in my head monthly if not weekly!

Same, that and “one more step along the world I go” which is guaranteed to reduce me to tears whenever I think about it.

And you don't ever think... what?

The number one primary school banger in my opinion.
You're not doing it right if you don't shout 'and a win for my home team!'

Sang that to the kids last week, you can get it on Alexa!

Nope! I may do so now though!

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 01/08/2025 00:08

I s'pose we were all too occupied with bellowing "SO I MUSTN'T FORGEEEEET", to think "woah, woah, woah... roll back a bit... what was that about jet planes three lines in?"

And is it a big feature of other seasons or just autumn?

OneNeatBlueOrca · 01/08/2025 00:13

Mid-air refuelling of jet planes

Yeah.I definitely love that about autumn days

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 01/08/2025 00:16

Shh, we've moved on to bacon and milkmen now.

Kids go back to school - in more ways than one.

You forgot to do up your laces mate

SnowFrogJelly · 01/08/2025 00:50

Midair refuelling of jet planes?! Confused

VashtaNerada · 01/08/2025 02:30

Always my absolute favourite at school!
