Anybody else glad it's Autumn?

As a September baby, I am a fan of the Autumn. It heralds new starts, packing away the summer clothes in favour of jeans and jumpers, crisp mornings, glorious sunsets, brisk walks, harvesting fruit and veg, larder replete with jams, jellies and chutney. I find Spring the most disappointing season - one nice warm day when you think 'here comes summer' followed by weeks of rain, sleet, even snow. Whereas in Autumn each lovely day feels like a bonus.

Not always, surely Annie? We didn't have any here last year (or the year before come to think of it). It's visible on the mountain tops sometimes though, so I expect that's bad enough, for you

Not me, just means winter is on the way and this means snow

September is my favourite month. It only started yesterday though, weatherwise.

I sorted through the ironing this morning and put to one side all the summer stuff. I wore a light sweater yesterday later on, and it is definitely sweater weather today. I normally welcome the cooler weather at the end of the summer as heralding better fishing. Hot weather is the kiss of death for trout fishing, but they will come up now and take flies off the top which is always very exciting (yes I know, I'm sad - it takes all sorts).

No, I'm not glad at all, I've loved every minute of the wonderful summer, glorious sunshine, blissful days at my beach hut, coffee and dinners in the garden, walks across beaches and fields, fab hols in Devon, I could go and bore you all senseless, Autumn for me is yuk, dark nights, drying washing indoors, getting colder, the frantic lead up to Christmas, but I shall grin and bear it, happy days to you all who are Autumn birds, and roll on Spring

Bloomin' chilly here nina.

I wore my (long) shorts to a Marks and Sparks food hall yesterday. Felt really daft. Everyone else got the leggings out.

Not too keen on Autumn tbh. Bit sad somehow. Could have done with another two or three garden sitting out weeks. Might put my coat on and take a blankie....

I've just come in from having coffee on the patio where it is pleasantly warm.
I hate the thought of shoes as apposed to sandals/flip-flops and coats. There has to be snow on the ground before I resort to boots and scarf.

Same here, nearly time to dust off the long boots and dig out the warm jackets!
