Autumn is definitely here! I have finally given in and put socks on in the evening as well as at work. Which feels like a definite defeat - I love bare feet but not achingly cold ones... I have just bought a five pack of bright new toes and heels socks from Waitrose as they were a nice evening stroll away and previous experience tells me Tescos socks fall apart and M&S are completely useless. (my homegroup leader threw her m&S socks in the fire one memorable homegroup evening last year) Let's hope for the quality sock experience.
Meanwhile at work, the metal shed roof has sprung a leak in the graphics shop and I'm told by the vinyl department that their heating was condemned 10 years ago and they have portable heaters. It seems our bosses don't feel the cold and put the heating on in December. I should be used to that and currently don't mind wearing a jumper to work in the morning. It's better than being sweltering hot as we were four or five weeks ago.
I love the beautiful low, slanty yellowing light of Autumnal evenings where sitting in a chair in the garden with a cuppa after tea seems very special. Evening strolls in the light are so much appreciated and I can't say I am looking forward to wrap around darkness. Joy over conkers and colours in the trees, sweet chestnuts and crisp fallen leaves to crunch over and having the Devon beaches slightly less ram packed make me happy. I am so grateful to have functioning legs and lungs and the energy to enjoy using them!
