Word of the Week - Autumn

This week I've noticed a real change in the season. The mornings have been misty and chilly; the sunshine in the afternoon has warmed me nicely; the leaves are slowly changing colour; I'm thinking of pulling my jumpers out of storage. All makes me think that autumn is really here.

Autumn is my favourite season. I love the change in the weather and the chance to snuggle into wool at the drop of a hat. I love the excuse to make hot chocolate and beef stews. I love taking walks in the crisp, chilly air. I love the fact that I can pull on woolly tights and not worry about the state of my legs for 6 month.

So come on autumn! Let's have some fun together before the grip of winter forces me to batten down the hatches...

    1. It's part of the reason I love it so, you can't beat an autumnal palette.

  2. It is a lovely season, and it's most definitely here. I do like seeing the changing colours and the rediscovery of clothes I'd forgotten! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x

    1. The food is a real winner, isn't it? I love comfort food in all its forms but a good crumble and custard is hard to beat. Thank you for commenting Stephanie.

  5. When it comes to Autumn and Winter I always feel like hibernating. Hearing 'the chance to snuggle into wool' sounds fantastic. #wotw

    1. I know what you mean about hibernating, Helena. I feel that way about winter. Thank you so much for leaving a comment.

  6. I love Autumn too, it's such a colourful month and one that I think brings so much warmth - which is ironic as it's autumn. But sitting outside with a jumper and a weak sun still on you is lovely; I love the foods of autumn, all the Squash and Pumpkins. Oh, yes, Here's to autumn!

    1. There's nothing quite like it is there Tracey? It's so good when it arrives and I can indulge in all my autumn passions - there's a beefy stew on the stove as I type! Thanks for leaving a comment, much appreciated.
