40 reasons autumn is the greatest season ever

Posted at 3:00 pm, October 20, 2013 in Fun London

Well, that’s it folks. The winter coats are coming out and your morning coffee bill is rising steadily which can only lead to one conclusion, autumn has arrived. But before you crack out the S.A.D lamps, we have 40 reasons why autumn is the best season…

1. The trees look really pretty:

2. The ground is positively gleaming:

3. And everything gets a bit more atmospheric:

4. There are leaves to kick:

5. And jump into:

6. Plus conkers to smash:

7. And plenty of rain, too (the best weather ever, remember?):

8. Rain = wet leaves = delayed trains = uh, longer to enjoy your copy of Time Out magazine?

9. It’s gonna get crisp:

10. Mornings will be golden:

11. And you know it’ll be misty:

12. And when there’s fog, you’ll feel more like Sherlock Holmes:

13. Or like you’re in Wuthering Heights:

14. And with cold weather comes the excuse for hot drinks like pumpkin spiced lattes:

15. Hot cocktails:

16. In fact, just warm alcohol in general:

17. Or just a great excuse for that extra cup of coffee:

18. Food? We’re talking hearty soups:

19. Slow-cooked stews:

20. And hot puddings:

21.  So pack away the short shorts and get out your woolly hats:

22: (Even cats like hats)

23. Get cosy with a onesie (direction):

24. Climb under that duvet:

25. With hot water bottles for extra comfort:

26. And slankets for the sofa:

27. Enjoy a little Homeland:

28. Alright, we mean X-Factor:

29. Or Strictly, of course:

30. Because after all, it is a great excuse to stay in (just don’t tell our editor we said so):

31. And have a candlelit bath:

32. But it’s a great excuse to cuddle up on a date too:

33: Then head over to a Halloween party:

34: In a ridiculous, “sexy” costume of your choice:

35: (Though we won’t be accountable for the consequences):

36. Then remember, remember the fifth of November:

37. Gunpowder, treason and… oooooh, ahhhhh:

38. And after that, well, it’ll almost be Christmas:

39. So things may seem dark after 94 days of summer, but there’s always something to look forward to:

40. And whatever you most want to enjoy this autumn, you can spend a whole extra hour doing it when the clocks go back:

So enjoy! Carly-Ann Clements
