Winter creeping in.

During the spring and summer I have been very motivated (for me) and have been going out for a walk each morning, usually between 7 and 7.30am ... but now the mornings are too dark, today it hasn't really got light at all, rain wall-to-wall so I am going to have to change my routine. The thing I like about walking first thing is that it sets me up for the day, I feel more creative and I don't have to interact with anyone purely because there is nobody around. It is 'my' time and I will miss it. I am generally a big fan of Autumn and Winter, I prefer it cooler, love cooking stews and things in the slow cooker, and I like cozy nights, but there is always a drawback and I think I have found it! Never mind, roll on spring.

Winter is coming!

...and not just in a Game of Thrones type way (can't wait for that to be back on). We awoke this morning to a frost, white roof and a chill in the air...then the wind picked up and it instantly felt arctic! Luckily I put my fuchsias in the greenhouse yesterday in readiness due to the forecast, fingers crossed they survive the winter. As the clocks change in the early hours of tomorrow morning, the days will become shorter and temperatures will generally drop...although to be honest I don't mind, I like cosying up, there are potatoes baking in the oven as I type.

Anyway, wherever you are, keep toasty!

Beautiful October...for now!

We have had a couple of gorgeous days, warm, sunny and bright, the blue of the sky is slightly less intense as summer, but other than that one would be hard pushed to tell it's autumn. Yesterday I went for a walk, there was a small plane buzzing overhead and I didn't need a jacket, beautiful. Colder, more seasonal weather is forecast for the weekend, so make the most of today in the UK!

Bit of promotion.

Hi folks, I haven't used this blog in AGES (quite obviously, the last pictures are of snow for goodness sake!) but I am back, with my ramblings and I will also cross-post some links to the Pagan Nature site and blog - it all helps views and promotion for my little business, I'm sure you don't mind...its interesting I promise!

Anyway, here is the post about welcoming October into our lives :)
