Hasn't the weather been great lately? Throughout September there have been 2 days when it has drizzled here - very light drizzle - and the rest of the month has been bone dry. Every day when I've been leaving work, the temperature has been above 16C - usually closer to 19/20C.
It has been unseasonably lovely, and it doesn't really feel like autumn at all. June and July were great months too, so it seems like we've had a lovely long summer.
But now, on the very first day of October, I'm certain that won't last much longer - and that's OK. Autumn is definitely my favorite time of year, along with so many people. We don't do anything particularly special in autumn, but I love the crisp, clear days, being able to wrap up in a coat and watching the trees change color. I think autumn will pass us buy quickly this year though - especially when I'm stuck at work all day. Hopefully, we will get some lovely dry weekends to spend outdoors, crunching leaves and splashing in puddles.
