Let’s talk all things Autumn today. Specifically the Autumnal things that make me happy. I love finding ways to celebrate and embrace the seasons and I love making lists of things that make me happy.
Autumnal Things that make me Happy
- The colours – this one’s obvious but it has to be top of the list. I love spotting the colours of Autumn as they start to appear
- Crumble – apple is my favourite and it’s the typical Autumn dish for me
- Roast Dinners – we tend to eat more roasts as the weather turns to the colder months
- More opportunities to see Rainbows in the wild…with the often changeable weather the rainbow possibilities are higher!
- Nature is full of treasures in Autumn…we love looking for conkers, acorns and other seasonal treasures
- Crunchy leaves…the best thing about walking in Autumn!
- Hedgerows of blackberries to nibble on…if you can get past the thorns to pick them
- I can finally start using all the blankets I collect again. There’s usually one flung over the back of every chair in our house
- Listening to the rain on the roof (I can do this all year round if it rains but it’s happens a lot in Autumn). I find listening to and watching the rain really soothing
- Soaking up every last drop of sunshine…as Autumn comes around I find myself more grateful for any sunshine and blue skies we have
- Cozy clothes – hoodies, cardigans and scarves – my preferred clothes are the ones most like pyjamas!
- Wrapping my hands around a warm mug of tea (or decaf coffee or hot chocolate)
- Autumn means it’s nearly my birthday!
- Using the stationery I bought in the Back to School madness
- Getting crafty…once Summer is over I tend to get more crafty and creative. I’m currently taking a Beginners Sewing Course locally. And I’ve been writing penpal letters and sending some happy mail
- Finding it easier to spot birds, squirrels and other critters as the trees lose their leaves
