Do you miss colder autumns?

[cavscott]

OK, I know that we've had the summer from hell and a warmer autumn is welcome but I'm one of those odd people who like wrapping up in scarfs, jumpers and coats come autumn.

I like it when the temp changes and things get colder. Am I alone in this or the only cold freak here?

No, I'm with you on this one. There's nothing better than a brisk walk on a cold day, coming back inside with a red face which tingles when it gets warm, misty mornings and snuggling up in front of the fire. It's a lot easier and nicer getting warm when it's cold outside than trying to stay cool in the heat.

Yes I know what you mean. I'm not fond of hot summers so I usually look forward to a colder autumn arriving. Having said that, it is nice to be saving on central heating costs. The longer I put off switching the heating on, the better.

sorry to disapoint you all but i prefer the summer any time,i dont say over hot but nice enough not to have to wear jackets and jumpers.

Well I love warm summers but I also love cold autums and winters. it doesn't seem natural these very mild autumn and winters we have had recently. Can't beat an early morning frost on a clear fine day.

I'm quite happy to wait for the Winter for that.
Love a mild, sunny Autumn day.

I guess we have to wonder if we're going to get that this winter though eh? Last year was very mild...

I love the autumn & winter months, frosty mornings, dew on cobwebs, a low mist hanging about over the ground, a lung full of cold, crisp fresh air, several layers of clothing, my coat with many pockets, I find in strangly comforting having to put all the cold weather gear on, I love spring but I'm not to keen on summer. to me autumn isn't autumn if you don't get the colder weather conditions

I love the crisp air of autumn. I know what you mean I havent even got the heating on yet. Although the other evening I let the dog out and the fresh smell of autumn made me all nice inside I even commented on it to my daughter I love autumn but another thing I absolutely love is sweeping up the leaves. We have a sycamore near us it's only a young one but wow all those leaves, it's great sweep them up then you and the kids jump in them great fun. Just a child at heart myself.

P.S If I could just say the best time for a lovely autumnal smell and fresh air is first thing in the morning I am up at around 06.30 every morning and I always sit on the back doorstep with my coffee breathing it in before all the smelly traffic starts.Fi. X X X X

Yes, very much so.

For so much of the time now the seasons are so mixed up or simply merge into one another.

I always look forward to when you can smell the changing season, going into autumn that crisp freshness of the air when you breath it in. After summers the air always felt renewed going into autumn.

I also miss cold winters, there is nothing better than getting wrapped up to go out and feeling as though you are getting one over the weather with big wooley jumpers and coats, feeling warm and toasty and getting that tingle on your face and the gasp of bitterly cold air. Then on the flip side home, or wherever you happen to be going to always seems friendlier as you approach with warm looking yellow light streaming out from the windows with the anticipation of getting by a fire with a hot drink.
