"Autumn Days When the Grass is Jewelled"

Autumn is my favourite season, tied with Spring. Honestly, it's the trees that do it. I'm fairly certain I drive my lovely husband mad with constant chatter about the changing colours of leaves. The green to yellow, burned orange and reds. I love it! Last Autumn we visited Paris and I was in paradise strolling little back streets, bag of macrons in hand, staring up at trees and enjoing a crisp, Autumn weekend. 

Paris. October 2012.

Thinking back to this time last year made me think about what I'm most looking forward to this Autumn. Sadly, Paris 2013 isn't on the list, but there are lots of other things to get myself excited about!

• Weekend walks crunching fallen leaves underfoot
• Keeping snug in my new Massimo Dutti cape
• Heading down to the annual firework display at Sefton Park on Bonfire Night, followed by a slice of gingercake and a mug of hot chocolate.
• Baking (and eating) Autumn puds
• Travelling to a research conference in New Orleans in November and eating pralines
• Weekend walks crunching fallen leaves
• Watching two very small and gorgeous kittens grow into little tigers
• Curling up on the couch under a blanket catching up on brilliant Sky Atlantic dramas 
• Making exciting festive plans for Christmas

What's in your diary this Autumn? I hope that there's something fun in there to look forward to!
