Autumn


On Sunday Husband and I drove up to visit some friends who live in a village in Oxfordshire. We drove through so many pretty little villages, some looked like they had been taken straight out of a Jane Austen drama. The trees were showing off some lovely colours; bright red, orange and yellow. I love autumn and everything that comes with it:

- go for long walks in the countryside, breathing in the fresh air.
- take a flask of coffee and drink it on a park bench whilst admiring the pretty trees.
- wrap up in warm scarves.
- hot chocolate before bedtime.
- fruit crumble with warm custard.
- a proper British pub meal, like steak pie, with a nice ale to accompany it.
- watching a good drama, like Spooks, Downton Abbey or Cranford.
- porridge for breakfast.
- rain, rain, rain. It's not so bad if you have a nice pair of wellies, or a pretty umbrella.
- plan a nice visit from some lovely friends.
- wool socks.
- foggy mornings.

What is your favourite thing in autumn?

  1. Høsten på sitt aller beste! Fargene, luktene, den friske klare lufta, mjuke skjerf, varme jakker, pledd og tekopper og vafler og kalde kinn <3

  2. Så nydelige <3 Gleder meg til høsten entrer Vestlandet også! Den har for så vidt kommet, men ikke med løv son knirker under skoene og antydning til frostrøyk tidlig om morgenen på vei til jobb. Til helga kanskje!?;)
