First Signs of Autumn

[Matthew.Passmore]

Driving around today I noticed that the leaves on most trees are starting to turn already up here and the mornings have that cold autumn misty chill; so much for a long hot summer eh?

has anyone else seen the changes

First thing three mornings ago, I realised it had just started to smell like Autumn. Just that faint hint in the air.

I love the changing seasons The first breath of air, that different light.

Toddy

I was in crete last week....even the med was amazingly green
i mean crete was ridiculously green, my mams from there and ive spent years there in my life, and it was greener than ive ever even seen it in spring...weird huh
and then i got home, and bournes exceptionally green...lots of moss and things

If we have an early Autumn does that mean we're in for a long cold winter ?

Or just the usual endless wet and grey dragging on for weeks on end

 

[Matthew.Passmore]

I love the change to Autumn too, I hate hot nights anyway

I think it's almost a certainty we will have months of cold, grey weather, wouldn't be Britain without it.

 

[Toddy]

I curl up and sleep away a lot of those endless gray, dreich, days
Summer I manage fine on five hours a night, Winter is a whole other ballgame
I like the cold, crisp, bright Winters though. Pity ours are usually soggy

cheers,
Toddy

Got to admit my favourite season is autumn.

There's something about it that just makes it special.

 

[Ruvio]

after summer, i love autumn the best, the colours are pretty
i also despise it being called fall

 

[Sainty]

Speak for yourself.

We were sat on the beach in Cornwall till 7.00pm today. Autumn's not due for a couple of months yet.

Last winter was good.
Lots of dry fire wood and snow.

Winter before that was just rainy and grey.

autumn is defo in the air, like toddy i could smell it at the beginning of this week on the way to work, chilly out at 6am yet the suns up, just that odd brown leaf about too.
bloody squirrels though, eating all the damn hazelnuts up before they're ripe!
SODS!
think i'm gonna go back some, all fattened up on hazelnuts

Autumn was called Fall in England when the Pilgrim Fathers went to America. They have kept the original usage.

We started using Autumn when the French invaded us.

Autumn... My favorite season, Love the contrast in colours you get when out in the woods.

Definately going to be spending a few nights out alone this autumn and i cant wait!!

Fingers crossed.
Long cold winter, long cold winter, long cold winter, long cold winter, long cold winter, long cold winter, long cold winter!

 

[Toddy]

I didn't know that, hmmm. The only Fall that I did know of were the biblical one (which the Pilgrims would have known of ) and Fawe from Middle English, meaning speckled, of various colours.

cheers,
Toddy

ooops, sorry got distracted watching two men chainsawing down a big cherry tree in the street, I was replying to Mike's Fall as the original name, post.

Ridiculously oppressive and hot here, whilst still being grey and damp. Could do with a massive and passionate thunderstorm to clear the air. And that'd please me, 'cos I like massive thunderstorms.
So, yeah, I could believe autumn is around the corner now.
