Autumn is officially here and I’m not sure how I feel about it. This time of year always feels a little bittersweet – comfy sweaters and cinnamon spice sound so appealing, but I struggle a bit when the nights draw in and I find myself wishing time away, willing the clocks to spring forward.
Last year I compiled a list together of a few things I wanted to do to enjoy the season but with a few holidays abroad and lots of weekends away, the season passed by without too much angst. This year however I have no trips planned and a job which involves working odd hours with lots of weekends. I’m going to be extra careful to ensure I get enough time outside in the light and time with my people.
Here are a few of the ways I intend on making the most of autumn.
Go on an autumnal walk
Make fondue
Bake a pumpkin pie
Drink festive coffee
Make hot chocolate, drink it whilst stargazing
Try some new soup recipes
Make chutney
Drink mulled apple juice
Go on a haunted activity
Knit a scarf
Carve a pumpkin
Aww, what wonderful activities you’ve planned. I like all of them. I hope you manage to do all of them.

This time of year I’m normally picking sloes for my Christmas gin and blackberries, rosehips and elder berries for jams and syrup but due to the glorious Summer everything came out early and I’ve already done everything. I will however be doing lots of Autumnal dog walking and knitting.

I’d love to pick sloes but I don’t know anywhere locally where I can go foraging for them – although I guess it’s too late now sinc
e they came out early?
