I absolutely LIVE for Autumn/Winter. I am in my element when frost coats the roofs of the houses opposite mine. I adore the colder weather, unless I have to go out in it. And even then, I love bundling up in a coat, scarf and gloves to keep warm whilst braving the freezing conditions! Those are just a few things I love about Autumn, now here are some more!
- Hot chocolate. And all the Christmas Costa and Starbucks drinks! I am itching to try Costa's NEW Billionaire's Hot Chocolate. I have a feeling it's going to be quite sickly, but I'll give it a good try anyway!
- Fallen Leaves. Fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground. Ten points to your house if you get the song reference. I can never resist dragging my feet through a big pile of gold, red and brown leaves. If I could get away with jumping into the pile I would. But as an adult? Not so socially acceptable!
- All the blankets. Autumn/Winter is the blankets time to shine. I have a huge collection of blankets/throws, and A/W is the time where I drag them all out of storage and surround myself with them day and night!
- Comfort food. I'm talking stews, dumplings, and all the roast dinners. In Autumn, I am all about that comfort food!
- Winter wear. Suddenly I can wear all my favourite hoodies, the coat I've had for ten years because I love it so damn much, and my adorable (in my opinion) bobble hat. And even though I have ten pairs of gloves, five scarves and three hats? I'll still be hitting up my local Primark for more!
- Cat cuddles. I always notice my cat seeks out my company more when the colder weather sets in. That probably has more to do with the amount of blankets I surround myself with whenever I'm at home. But I prefer to believe he seeks out my company more come Autumn!
- Slippers! I miss wearing slippers SO MUCH in Summer, when it's too hot to even wear clothes, let alone something on your feet. I have about a billion pairs of slippers/slipper socks/etc, so I like to rotate them through Autumn and Winter.
- All the good TV shows. Autumn sees most of my favourite TV shows make a comeback. Most notably? I'm A Celebrity. Don't judge me, it's a guilty pleasure! This year has seen some really good shows hit our telly box as Autumn rolled around, and I've now got loads to watch over the festive period!
- Halloween and Christmas. Of course, who could mention Autumn without thinking of the two biggest holidays of the season? I'm much more of a Halloween girl, but I do love the run-up to Christmas. Christmas shopping, wrapping, and all the Christmas movies. All become totally acceptable as soon as Autumn hits!
- Frosty mornings. I love waking up in the morning to a lovely, warm house. It's even nicer when I open the curtains to see frost covering the cars and roofs opposite my house. It looks magical, if cold, and I can enjoy it all the more for being in a nice, central heated house!
Hands up if you love Autumn, too!
