Autumn in the forest

OK, so I can live in denial no more – it’s autumn!

That’s OK though – what’s not to love about this time of year? Especially when you live next door to an enchanted forest – full of freely roaming ponies, cows, pigs, pixies, etc. I only wish I led a lifestyle that meant I could spend more of my daylight hours there.

Things I like about autumn:

• walks in the forest, kicking up the leaves
• soup
• golden leaves
• smell of bonfires and fireworks (esp. 5th November)
• socks
• crumpets
• woolly jumpers
• better stuff on the TV
• predominance of the colour orange
• apples
• mugs of cocoa

Things I don’t like about autumn:

• Lack of daylight
• Christmas! ( I love christmas, just not in October.)

How about you – anything you love or loathe about this time of year?
