Autumn

I must say, there's a definite chill to the air in England these past few days...and only a week and a half ago we slept with the windows cracked and the fan on.

I walked through my local park today with my dog (in a jacket, no less!) and noticed the leaves are changing, too. Definitely my favorite season here in this lovely country!

I love autumn too, its my favorite time of year! I have been looking forward to it for the last couple of HOT months.

This week its been lovely, sunny and low humidity! The next couple of days it will be in the 80s (I prefer the 70s) but at least its going the right direction. I am so happy that we are now in September.

I'm totally the opposite - I waited all year for summer to arrive and all we really got was about 5 days of hot weather in June (plus I spent 2 weeks in sunny south of France last month)!

It's suddenly got chilly this week though and I've actually been wearing 3 layers of clothes to work (vest top, uniform top and jacket) and I've had a blanket on my bed for the last 4 nights (our flat is drafty - no double glazing - and since we're moving out in 4 weeks, we're trying not to turn the heating on again before we leave). I was hoping for an Indian summer this September, but it doesn't look like we're gonna get one now .

I agree! I love Autumn.  Here in Manchester, we've been alternating between amazing torrential rain and sun--all of it with the wind whirling the leaves around. It is awesome.

My husband and I were recently talking about our two weeks on the Suffolk coast in the autmn of 2007 right before we moved back to the states.

We rented a lovely cottage in Orford and the weather was very cool, sunny some days and just a bit rainy on others....the air was lovely, leaves falling, we walked in the woods and along the water every day and build a fire every night....it was perfect! We got so wrapped up in how great it was we are thinking about going back again next year.  

Lucky you...I broke into a sweat walking to my car.

Oh man, I love fall. Even though I don't really get to have a nice one, since I live in SoCal. I'm not coming over to the UK for another few weeks, but I can tell you this:

I will GLADLY be trading this scorching weather for some nice chilly days!

It's been so hot I almost want to flip San Diego off when my plane is taking off, haha.

God I miss that!  :\\\'(

Freak!

I can't wait for Autumn!

Unlike pretty much the whole rest of the island, our little corner of England has been fine and hot all Summer long. So much so, we're having a real drought problem. The fields are brown and the sheep are hungry, while a hundred miles away there are floods. Still, it's been beautiful.

Then, two days ago -- like somebody flipped a switch -- it was suddenly Autumn. Chilly, rainy, blowing a gale. I'm sure it's not totally the end of the nice weather, but it was the most amazing season transition I have ever seen.

I love all four seasons where we are. Coming from Tennessee via Rhode Island, I am accustomed to hating at least one and often two or more seasons every year, so that's pretty cool.

It's my opinion that we've had a hot and sweaty summer here in the SW, but maybe it's because I'm outside in the weather all day.  I'm just as sunburned here as I was in Georgia.

Also, people - don't forget the the weather moves in cycles.  Just because it's cool and crisp, doesn't mean that we won't have some more warm a pleasant days yet.  Particularly here in the South.  Last October was sunny and bright, going between sleeves and fleeces in the course of a day.  The evenings are definately crisp, and the days are changeable at the 'mo, but change will come.  It always does.

With the autumn comes my seasonal allergies.   

I can't wait for Autumn!

I don't mind autumn - in October or November!  But right now?  Too early! 

I'm really torn. When we've had a good summer I look forward to Autumn because I do get bored with the same thing for too long. But it does feel too early given that the summer was never really properly warm - I suppose it really hasn't been too bad, but we've only had one week or so when it was actually HOT. I'm a bit jealous of my friends in SF enjoying their September summer heatwave.

At the moment impending autumn is just making me remember that I need to try to find a chimney sweep soon - and probably should have done already!

I love the fall! turning leaves and warm jackets.  Back to school supplies, carving jack o lanterns, hay rides, morning chill/frost, football season!
