Awesome Autumn

I LOVE Autumn - my favourite time of year - & now definitely fully fledged!

I have had my camera with me constantly over the last couple of weeks, 

wanting to capture the things that say Autumn 

has REALLY arrived for me.

Sad that photographs cannot capture the stillness & chill in the air, 

warm breath in the cold air, leaves crunching underfoot 

& the smell of warming alcohol beverages - YUM!

Here's what I'm loving this Autumn :-)

Real fires

Building wood stores

Cosy cushions

The evening ritual of lighting candles

Last flowers of Summer clinging on...

My AGA, the heart & soul of my kitchen - 

she knows everybody's secrets - sssshhhhssshhh

Downton Abbey - ooohhh it's been 'Nitty Gritty!'

Loving Sunday Evening's :-)

Leaves crunching underfoot

Cheeky chilly day warm-ups ;-)

Film marathons - 60p each bargains!

Reading books that have been on my shelf oh, too long...

An Autumnal colour feast everywhere you look :-)

Pumpkins - soup, roasted, risotto...

Boots & cosy socks or even leg-warmers!!

Hot chocolate (& chocolate :-0)

Scarves in varying shades to mix it up a bit!

Sheepskins

& of course Fairylights!

What are you loving about Autumn?

Let There Be Light...

....at the end of the tunnel as I prepare for my cycling holiday - finish work tomorrow for a week - YAY!

 The sun is supposed to be shining every day - hoping to come back with a bit of a Yorkshire tan, albeit a cyclists tan - straight lines across arms and legs!!

I've been wanting to show this beautiful rustic clamp light I bought from Plumo. I love the metal finish and the rustic ironwork of the clamp - & of course the heart :-)

 It's in a cosy corner of the lounge clamped to the window sill in my preferred spot to sit and read - IT'S MINE!!

Plumo currently have a sale - click the link to take a look!
