We've had a glorious summer...but is anyone else looking forward to Autumn?

[petitpasta]

Just that really. I'm grateful for the lovely summer we've had but I am really looking forward to opaque tights and boots, soups and casseroles, cooler days, candles, fairy lights and Autumn leaves.

Me too! Before I retired I worked in a school so September was always a time for a fresh start. My garden is parched and needs the rain and like op I’m looking forward to nights drawing in and getting cosy. Plus this year we’re hoping to take our dgd to a panto as she’s now of an age where she’ll enjoy it.

Yes! I like summer in many ways but I like the rhythm that comes with changing the seasons and I will be ready in a few weeks for autumn. Home Bargains already have pumpkin themed things in if you want a browse of those to look ahead!

Hell yes, autumn is my favourite season.
Darker evenings, cosy times, warm slippers, preparing for Christmas, Strictly Come Dancing, a new school year, time to reflect and start again.
Can’t wait 🍂

I am , it's my favourite season .
My ideal is a warm early Autumn day ,mellow golden light going into a crisper evening with a huge full moon and plenty of stars.
I don't buy 'Autumn tat' but i do love cushions and throws ,plenty of fairy lights and candles.
I could live in permanent Autumn.

I'm not. I have SAD..

Love Autumn can't wait for the "Cosy Vibes" bring on the candles and slow cooker... crunchy walks through the leaves 🍃

I like that September brings that fresh start feeling of a new term but I’m not looking forward to the dark nights or poor weather.

September is my favourite month and Autumn is my favourite season. I can’t wait!

Absolutely!! By mid/end of July I’m always desperate for Autumn. August is my least favourite month of the year. Too hot, everywhere dried up, too busy and too light. I think I might have reverse SAD as I end up feeling a bit anxious and get insomnia. Roll on the cosy months I say. 🍁

Love Autumn!

Oh no, the leaves are already turning so much and it’s dark enough to need lights on in an evening!
not a fan

Yes - I feel I can enjoy it now that we've had some sun! Also fed up of being covered in sticky suncream. Not looking forward to winter though

I've loved the summer, I dreadful the short light days. Only sadness I have is being at work inside 5-6 days a week!

So do I, I did much, much better last year by buying a Vitamin D supplement that is a liquid you spray under your tongue. Not sure if it was a placebo effect but it really helped and I’ll be taking it again this year once the summer fades x

Yes me! September / October are my favourite months when things start to change and it gets close to the end of the year.

However I went shopping for some autumn boots today and couldn’t find any I like… so that wasn’t good 😂

I mind less this year because we’ve actually had a decent summer. It’s when people start talking about cosy blankets when it’s been raining all summer that annoys me!!

I don’t like the nights getting darker earlier though. And I hate dark mornings. I’ve been enjoying my coffee sat in the garden in the sun.

So if we have a nice autumn- yay.

Me! Autumn is my favourite season. I love the cooler weather but not yet freezing, everywhere seems quieter after the madness of August in Edinburgh, the turning of the leaves, cosier nights. I’m not quite pumpkin spiced lattes and seasonal B&M tat autumnal but suits my introverted self.

I love the long light days of summer the best. I like September days and the beautiful golden light but I don’t like the nights drawing in and I hate the dark days of winter. The thing that’s cheering me up this year is that my daughter is expecting her first baby in the new year. A precious baby arriving with the first snowdrops 😍

I'm glad it works for you. I've taken a vit d supplement daily since 2017 when I tested as low. Hopefully it helps my immunity but no luck with the SAD!

I am really looking forward to autumn.

I like dark evenings and cooler weather. I'm sick of being hot and sweaty.

The new Strike book is coming out, and Bake off and Only murders in the building are coming back, Slow Horses and Stranger Things!

I hate all the autumn smells though, everything smelling of pumpkin spice and cinnamon.

Nope. Because autumn brings winter. Commuting to and from work in the dark,foul weather,mud, and constricting layers. It's horrible and no amounts of hot choc and snuggling helps.

No, I wish the summer would last a bit longer - it’s the first decent one we’ve had in ages. I want to be like Bodhi in Point Break and chase the endless summer ( but without the bank robbing bit!)

Me! But then again I've been looking forward to it since about June

😂

Totally! I popped into Peacocks on my lunch break today and saw lots of lovely autumnal colours - deep purples etc. I look forward to getting my boots and cosy cardigans again!
