At least the light is coming back once the year turns and the bulbs are pushing through in the garden. I hate the dark days of November and December which is why I love Christmas with all the lights to cheer us. I do like the colours of autumn though.

Blackberrying a couple of days ago and the hedges are so colourful with all the fruits of the season , it was really quite beautiful.

The months that I don't like are Jan and Feb.

yep- autumn is my favourite season too. The colchicum are in flower in our field, morning mist being burnt out by the son, and its got decidedly cooler- was actually quite cold during the night. What I love, it how clear the air is, no haze- great for views and photos- everything is crisp and sharp. The son has finely come out again after a few much needed rainy days- and will be out foraging for 'shrooms over next few weeks- reserves definitely need replesnishing. Wonderful-

There is only one month and a half in the year I don't just love, November ato mid-December. Will probably find a last minute cheapo flight to Sicily late November to get away.

I did notice yesterday that even after a day of clear and sunny skies, it was virtually dark by 9.30 p.m.! I'm sure it's getting darker earlier than previous years.

However, it has to be said, I love Autumn.smile

Don't even think about it.........I love autumn but not what follows. It is definitely high summer here.

Getting darker earlier in the evenings too!

Charleygirl Wed 19-Aug-15 09:18:48

I agree and some evenings it is quite chilly.
