Cinnamon Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I really like Autumn & winter, as there is such a lot to look forward to The smell of bonfires The trees tuning gold Being able to see into the woods at the end of my garden, & spot the deer Red berries on the bushes Christmas Prets Autumn fresh soup menu Candy corn at Hallowe'en Starbucks Gingerbread latte Dew covered cobwebs in the morning A harsh frost on a bright sunny morning Scarfs Eating stick-to-the-ribs casseroles with dumplings Drinking red wine because it warms you up Wearing my favourite knee length cardi things Crumpets & home made Blackberry jam Uggs The Autumn TV schedules fairy lights Early dark evenings,with an open fire Supper in a cosy warm local pub Feel free to add your own autumn & winter favourites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I love snuggling round the open fire with the kids after they have had their baths/ showers toasting marsh mallows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 excuse for a hot chocolate, cream & marshmallows. Having your electric blanket on. Having porridge / ready brek for breakfast. Going for icy walks & warming up with a brandy when you get home. Doing the chickens in the dry on frosty mornings. Geting cozy in the caravan, on weekends away. Baking Parkin. Winter pansies, Cyclamens & Hyacinths Planting bulbs for spring Knitting Roaring fires Full to the brim baths, from the hot water off the fire. Snuggly jumpers New boots Whacky hats, I love hats. Crunching of leaves Autumn fruits Acorns & conkers (conker fights) My birthday Xmas shopping & Xmas Scented candle evenings twinkly lights & Xmas decs I could go on & on Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Nor me. This time of the year with the bright sunny days is fine by me, but I'm a summer bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Spoiled little hens not shouting for their brekkie till 7.00am I'd forgotten that mornings could be peaceful ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I like walks in the park after the leaves have fallen and gathered in big drifts. On bright sunny days I love kicking the leaves about (OH and Son tell me to grow up - then Son joins in!!) I also love having an excuse to cook casseroles and stews again - hearty warming food that makes you feel good (lettuce just doesn't have the same effect) Baking when the only heat is coming out of the oven not in the window as well Autumn colours look better on me (pale skin, red hair) than the pastels of summer and I can layer on the knits to cover the lumps and bumps I try to disguise in summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 most of the above but also being able to wear hats! Ian bought me a Per Una grey trilby for £1 from his staff shop (perks of the new job). It should have been £19.50, can't wait to wear it with my new LTS stuff. Also enjoying preparing and planning for my xmas hampers, first time I've done them oh and being able to see the local farm's free range hens through the bushes, once the leaves have gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
