Days grow shorter, temperatures drop and Winter ahead. How depressing.

But we have autumn as a rash of colour and golden sunsets and light to look forward to. It's not all bad, Nina.

If you say so Meg

I do. I love autumn. The very richness of the light is beautiful. I love the way it sets everything to fire and gold in late afternoon and the mellow feel of the days slipping by. My favorite season. Mind you, I do have blood in my veins unlike some cold blooded mortal I may know.

Well, me and my book are going to bed. Talk to you tomorrow.

Good night Meg

I really am going - right now.

 

Goodnight, dd

September is ok but Ihate seeing the trees with no leaves on, the colder weather and the days shortening till it's dark when I go to work and dark when I come home.

I wish they wouldn't put the clocks back - I don't like that but, there are things I like in all seasons. Late September/October is my fae.

That's the worst time, going in to work and back in the dark. I hate having so little natural light.

 

Has anyone ever used one of those lightboxes? I wonder if it's worth investing in one.

 

I sometimes use daylight bulbs for close craft work but they're not great. I'm a bit sceptical about the benefits of lightboxes but I don't know anyone who's actually used one

 

I absolutely adore the Autumn colours and the crunch of leaves underfoot.

 

Life seems slower some how. Time to stop and look at it.

My life is anything but slow. I never manage to catch up with myself.

Jus sop going so fast. You;ll find it easier to catch up. Or tie yourself up - that'll help.

Too much to do

I'll bring some leg irons next time we meet.

I should be preparing dinner and setting the table as my sister-in-law and her hubby are coming round tonight but I decided I needed a rest after hoovering, making an apple cake and fruit salad.

Kids and husbands are good for setting tables. You shouldn't have to do it all.

Time for bed :zzz:

Goodnight, everyone

Well, he helped (sort of) and the girls did a bit but I did most of the work. Feeling tired today and am glad I have a couple of days off.
