My favourite season, yours?


Sykes Cottage has been asking some of us bloggers to enter a competition to let us know what we love about autumn. Now I’m a huge huge fan of autumn. It was the season I was born and I adore it. My favourite bit? Actually being outside in it. Picture a perfect Autumnal day. A crisp dry start with the sun dappling through jewel coloured leaves and at its height in the middle of the day it warms you from the inside out. Not like the summer sunshine which can burn but still leave you could but that glorious warm gentle sun which casts amazing shadows and just doesn’t long enough before the evening draws in.


The second the autumn hits we are outside every weekend. Tucked up against any chill or drizzle with a flask or two full of hot chocolate or soup ready to go off and explore. The beaches are empty at this time of year even on glorious sunny days and you have the whole of it to yourself! Even in October sometimes it can be warm enough to paddle and if not just chuck on your waterproofs and wellies and go in any way!

Just look at the sky in the picture! We spent a stunning afternoon digging playing around and without seeing any one! In the summer you can barely step forward for falling over bodies draped all over the beach! Of course the perfect autumnal day has to be followed by a cup of hot mulled apple juice, a log fire and marshmallows to roast while you pop a good film on. Heaven! By far my favourite time of year!
