The weather is getting colder, the leaves are turning brown, the pumpkin spice lattes are coming out of hibernation. It's happening.

As autumn is one of my favourite seasons, I thought it would be fun to share some love of all the good things that come with the season. Would love to hear about your favourite autumn foods or recipes, activities, experiences, anything at all!

I love the smell of the leaves, picking up conkers and remembering all the harvest festival songs we used to sing at primary school. Did anyone else sing "Cauliflowers Fluffy"?

    I remember that song :D 

    Cauliflowerd Fluffy and Cabbages Green isn't it

    I can't remember any more

    My favourite thing is cosying up and having an excuse to have a whisky to warm up in the evening

    I love the darker nights in Autumn. I know a lot of people don't. It just makes me want to wear comfy clothes, grab a throw and take some chill out time with a TV series, Movie or Book :)

    I'm breaking out the oversized, comfy jumpers and silly fluffy slippers.   <3

    I love how Autumn just smells different, an Autumnal evening looking outside at the different shades of reds and browns appearing in the garden, it's just a joy to the senses. :)

    @66Mustang In case you wanted to refresh your memory: cauliflowers fluffy with singers - YouTube

    We always used to whisper the last line: Broad beans are sleeping in a blankety bed. Iconic. :D

    @Rosie_Scope I've never heard that song before.  But now I think it'll be coming back to haunt me at very random moments.

    The crispness of Autumn mornings.   Hard to beat ... give me the cold over sweltering heat any day

    I love that it gets darker earlier, nothing better than getting cozy under a heated throw on the Sofa to watch a movie or TV show with the lights dimmed and of course the mandatory hot chocolate

    This sums up previous autumns for me.  Lovely walks with the dogs, beautiful leaves falling around us and slightly chilly noses. :)

    (Not actually my dog, but I thought this photo was wonderful)
