    Morning everyone! Sorry that some of you are feeling under the weather or just plain grumpy. Dont blame the change of seasons! Think of all the good things :
    - blackberries for free everywhere
    - leaves on the trees turning into beautiful colours
    - slight crispness in the air which is great when you go for a walk in the morning (esp if you have a dog!)
    - good excuse to get jimjams and warm socks on early in the evening and curl up in front of telly/with good book
    - you can drink plenty of hot chocolate!
    - time to cook yummy things in slow cookers and eat jacket spuds
    - autumn evenings can be spent making gifts (or lists!) to get organised in time for Christmas - means you wont get caught on the hop and will also save you money
    - also can start planning next year's vegetable gardening
    - soon be time for conkers, halloween and bonfires - yeah!!

    YM, that's 16 for me please!

    Thanks Mrs Dee

    This post has really cheered me up. Reminded me what is good about autumn/winter. My local coop is now selling Christmas selection boxes:eek:
