Autumn Days

[TheOtherAgentJohnson]

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

Oh my God. 😍

So, I’m not British. What song is being referenced here please? 🙂

It's literally called Autumn Days.

AUTUMN DAYS
Autumn days when the grass is jewelled
And the silk inside a chestnut shell.
Jetplanes meeting in the air to be refuelled.
All these thing I love so well
So I mustn't forget
No, I mustn't forget.
To say a great big
Thank You
I mustn't forget
Clouds that look like familiar faces
And the winter's moon with frosted rings.
Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces
And the song the milkman sings
CHORUS
Whipped-up spray that is rainbow-scattered
And a swallow curving in the sky
Shoes so comfy though they're worn out and they're battered
And the taste of apple pie.
CHORUS
Scent of gardens when the rain's been falling
And a minnow darting down a stream
Picked-up engine that's been stuttering and stalling
And a win for my home team.
So I mustn't forget
No, I mustn't forget.
To say a great big
Thank You
I mustn't forget

Milkman?????

I know! I didn't know that was even possible let alone being a thought about the longing for autumn!

Oh yes, nothing gives me that back-to-school feeling like watching a September mid-air refuelling.

Thank you for this thread OP 🍁🤣

Lovely song my children used to sing 💗

Shoes so comfy though they’re worn out and they’re battered

Do cars only stall in autumn?

That was my absolute favourite song from primary. Even now when autumn comes around I find myself walking down the road singing it to myself😂
