Pumpkin love

image link Well, we have officially said goodbye to summer...and what a glorious summer it has been. As much as I like warm sunny days, I feel I thrive in autumn. I think it's all the warm jumpers, scarfs, crispy leaves, delicious hot drinks and pumpkins. Oh don't get me started on pumpkins... I think I did a little jig when we came across some in the shops the other day!  I really had to resist myself from putting one in our trolley, won't be long though....pumpkin and red pepper soup is calling my name.  Last year I bought some small ones for decorations and even though I'd love to do that again I'm kind off at a loss of what to do with them after. Can you dry them and keep, please let me know. I've been looking at everything pumpkin related on Pinterest and here are my favourite ideas, decoration wise and food wise.

  Well, I think it's official. Fall has definitely arrived in England with a very wet and thundery start to the week.   I love fall....rain not so much. Don't get me wrong, rainy days can be quite cosy. Imagine watching a great movie, wrapped up in a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and some apple pie, while the rain is gently tapping on the windows, maybe insert a fireplace into that picture as well....heaven. Having to go out in the rain...not so much heaven! But  I am excited about wearing these later on when I go and pick the kiddies up from school.  

 

Yay, I looooooove my new boots!!

 

But back to fall.

Probably my favourite season.

I love all the colours fall brings, I love going for walks in the woods

and feel the crisp air, I love wearing warm snuggly jumpers and soft scarves,

I love the smell of burning fireplaces, I love apple pie and all the seasonal drinks

in the coffee shops (can't wait to try a pumpkin latte!),

I love going to the farm to pick out some pumpkins, I love Halloween, I love

watching the kids play in the leaves, I love making hearty food, I love bonfire night and

 I love decorating for fall.

 

Browsing Pinterest I came across some great fall decor ideas.

Here are just a few I have in mind.

Who cares if it rains outside when the house is decorated like this right!

Think this might be my project for this week.

Stay tuned as I might post some photo's later on.

 

Anyways my lovely people,

I think I'm going to snuggle up in the sofa and do exactly what

I described in the beginning of this post (minus the fireplace as we don't have one).

Have a great day!
