Please cheer me up with all the wonderful things to look forward to in Autumn.
I have had enough of heatwave after heatwave. Especially as a dog owner. Ive just stuck on Gilmore Girls as a means of escape!

So please join me here if you can't wait for Autumn and share any of your Autumn joys!

Put it in the Christmas section in the hope of finding my kinda people! I

I’d forgotten about brushed cotton bedding! We used to always have it on the bed when I was little ( big old rickety house, damn cold in winter!, ice on the insides of the window!)
As I now live with DP and Ddog, and an electric blanket, I doubt if I need the extra warmth… but I am tempted. DP always moans about my lovely percale cotton bedding being cold even in this heat, so hmmmm?
At least we can cuddle together in the winter… he’s far too warm in the summer, as is the dog!
It got dark around 8.40 last night, and we had a sharp rain shower. It went cold! Oh the joy! I was under a pile of blankets, feeling very “October” 😀

With these heat waves I've been craving autumn so much! It's my favourite season 🍂🍁 lovely crisp autumn walks and cosy nights in
What's everyone's favourite autumnal films? I always think of when Harry met Sally, dead poets society and of course spooky films....i love Halloween (the original), the craft, goosebumps....i have eclectic taste!
Also love the familiars and have a stash of spooky books lined up...might finally read the turn of the screw this year after loving the haunting of Blye Manor on Netflix.

I love Stacey Halls books too! The Familiars is my favourite of hers. I love Wakenhyrst - might be due a re-read.

Actually I just put a random episode on (it’s on Netflix) and it was lovely, autumn, lots of people walking around a small town, thriving independent shops, everyone was happy and industrious, it looked like a cross between a grown up Enid Blyton story and a bunch of people on happy pills 😂.

I shall definitely be watching it from the beginning.

I love Autumn .

I really like clear crisp nights with a full moon. Love the time round Hallowe'en ( but not creepy clowns) I am glad it's on a Saturday this year as it gives me time to decorate and I know there will be Trick or Treaters .

I don't do candles because of the cats ( they are little ratbags who would knock one over as quick as blink )
My DD insists on her winter bedding by Nov 1st ( brushed cotton) and she has a holly patterned plush throw for December .
I put the winter bedding for DH&me , and DS room about Dec 1st .

I much prefer A/W clothes to summer . Though in my early 50s (peri) I didn't need a coat , now the last 2-3 years I certainly do !

Guy Fawkes , love the fireworks though they go on a while , especially with Diwali round the same time . The animals certainly don't enjoy it .

I bought this magazine the other day. It comes out every year, but I usually hold out till the end of August to buy it. This year, however, it seems to have been summer since 1989, so I went for it early.

Today I've been in town trying on autumn clothing, deciding on autumn perfume and looking at the new Ghosts film trailer. 🍁🍂👻
