Anyone else enjoying the change in the air?

The cooler breeze is refreshing and the rain was needed.

The end of March at that! March can be brutally cold. But at least it’s getting a bit lighter. I’ve depressed myself now!

I’ve loved getting up early and sitting outside. I hated the summer heatwaves and boring hot weather and was so relieved we finally had lower temperatures in August after months of on-off heat and brightness.

I feel at peace - even though it’s a warm weekend here. At least temperatures should drop after Monday

🤣

The same in north west Scotland!

My favourite time of year this run up to Christmas, the light is so beautiful and it’s lovely and warm

That's not true, at least not of the whole of Scotland. I'm in Glasgow and we had an epic summer and also a glorious Spring.

There’s something to enjoy about every season. Being miserable about it must make it so much worse - put a cost on and get some fresh air. Cold and rain won’t kill you.

No, I’m going on holiday in 8 days though for two weeks and the temperature will be 30 degrees plus, I can’t wait!

Nope. I work outside and I’m a creature of warmth. Time to fish out the thermals soon.

No, I hate autumn/winter except for Christmas. My feet are like permanent blocks of ice from October to march 😭

I'm enjoying not sweating all night, our bedroom is so hot

I don’t think anyone has said they stay indoors? I’m out walking my dog for a good two hours a day in it… then out in it again watching kids play sport… but I can still not enjoy the lack of light, colder weather, wind and rain..

Yes! Looking forwards to the first frosty but sunny morning and all the leaves changing. Winter can be a bit bleak where I live. Costal and rural, very grey and bland. So anything but that is exciting 😁

I only enjoy 'proper' seasons..instead we tend to get wet, mild and grey from Oct to March, utterly depressing. This summer has been bloody marvellous. My dog didn't enjoy it, but lots of late walks and trips to woodlands helped and were enjoyable for us. The evenings drawing in are already lowering my mood.

We've had a glorious spring and summer in my part of Scotland. I don't want it to end. Love wearing shorts and being tanned and barefoot. Autumn can be pretty if its dry but it heralds winter and short hours of daylight and all the miserable dreichness.

Same.

Yes, love it.

NO!!
Absolutely hate it!
Dark until 6.00 am and dark at 20.30 !
Soon the whole place with trees will start looking a real mess when the leaves start falling off!
Bring back long hot sunny days!!

I love all the seasons but this year I am grateful for the break in the heat. Im very much peri-menopausal and have been struggling with feeling too hot constantly. Poor DH had to hide under the duvet as the bedroom was like a freezer with the air con on full blast.

If I had air con I’d have been very happy with that heat. That was the only downside - I struggled to sleep. But still prefer that to getting up in the dark - my body clock hates it and it feels unnatural. Love bright summer mornings and evenings.

I get plenty of fresh air on the way to work and back in the dark,cold and rain thanks. Can't see any joy in that.

I love it from now until the end of November, then hate it until April.

I used to really like summer, but not how it's been this year! Many, many a night I've been in the garden naked, sweating my tits off. Menopause and heatwaves ARE NOT OK.

I am so grateful for the nights drawing in and also the slightly darker mornings. Light all the time makes me quite anxious.

It’s so much quieter

Same, I find it really draining. I popped out to the shop about 7.30 tonight and it was so nice to see the sun setting at a reasonable hour.
