Winter time!

Roaring log fires, cosy nights with the sound of rain thundering down outside, a good old winter storm, watching people suffering flooding, icey roads and frosty mornings!!

Winter is on its way back guys, the mornings are already darker, and the sun has packed up for the year after another fleeting stay. A few weeks and it will be september, officially the start of the dull months. Bonfire night, halloween and the C word

Best time of the year!

    I was thinking that yesterday, I like the winter. Cosying in all snug with the fairy lights and candles on, making soup, being able to wear my hats without looking daft.

    The only thing I don't like is when you go to bed it's cold in there and it takes a while to heat it up and if you move your foot a bit you have to start all over again, and if you have get up to go to the toilet in the night it's so cold you don't want to get out of bed.

    I always look forward to the autumn and can already feel it in the air first thing in the mornings. It's soon going to be time to sit in front of my fire with a hot drink watching horror films as it will be dark earlier again soon. Can't wait. I used to love summer but they used to be longer and hotter than they are now so they have become a bit of a non entity for me now.

    I can assure you summer has always been roughly the same length and roughly the same temperature :)

    Are you all mad?

    You would rather swap the light, sunny mornings full of lush flowers and beautiful trees and the warm, long summer nights for freezing cold dark mornings, having to wear three layers of clothes to keep warm and dark miserable nights.

    I am not a massive fan of wind but I don't mind rain. As an amateur photography I love going into the park near to me in autumn and taking photos when it is a nice clear day with a little frost etc.

    I could have written that myself. I'd be fine with autumn, winter and spring if they were all condensed into one month :D

    Autumn and winter are my fav seasons. Love the build up to fireworks night,halloween and then christmas.

    The lovely crisp cold mornings when you can see your breath,the colours of the leaves change,big comfy jumpers,boots,scarves and gloves,hot chocolate with marshmellows,relaxing with hubby under our faux fur throws watching TV,stews,chrsitmas lights and trees....*sigh*

    I also love it when Starbucks start their christmas drinks range. From then on the countdown to christmas starts:)
