are people who like Autumn basically mad?

[Ifailed]

I know down here in the SE we've been blessed with good weather for the past few weeks, but here we are now on a wet and miserable Monday; kids coming home damp & stroppy from school because the honeymoon period is over & pavements are wet and slippery

The commute will be hellish; it was dark when many set off this morning, its definitely getting dark now and no doubt the trains will start failing due to the wrong kind of leaves on the line so you'll have to shove in with people whose umbrellas will drip down your neck or onto your feet.

It's not as bad as winter but I bloody hate it. I hate
The dark evenings
The rain
Wearing coats
Running in out of the rain
The children cooped up indoors
The mud

Summer is my season, the back door open from May until September, the kids still in shorts in mid September, not having to go out with 20 sets of coats and gloves, not walking into a freezing cold house (not that mine is as I don't do compromising on heating.) long light nights, Bare feet. Love every second and would happily live in summer all year round. I love that this year it has been nice most of the time since early May and late September I'm still in tshirts. Perfect.
