Hi everyone,
The end of Summer, as bittersweet as it might be, marks the beginning of Autumn. 🍂
It's a gorgeous season, that brings many things to do, eat, and look forward to! I thought it might be interesting to share what our favourite things to do this season are, and I'll kick this off by listing a few of the things on my bucket list for the coming months:
- Enjoy all things cinammon
- Step up your stew game
- Feast on apples
- Warm up by a bonfire
- Make crumbles
- Admire the trees and their autumnal colours
- Plan Halloween night
- Get cozy under a pile of blankets
- Carve a Pumpkin
So what's on your bucket list this season?

That'd be quite a treat ... but also a way to avoid Autumn in itself
Are you not a fan of the cooler weather, spookiness, and everything cinammon and all-spice?
For now, migrating south ready for the winter like nature does, will remain on my bucketlist for a number of years. Cooler weather, ghosts .... no thank you

Well I hope to get a bit more "me time" , certainly the darkness has an affect on my activities outside. I am an early bird really and love the mornings. The nights drawing in do not really suit me but I like the seasons so have to put up with it. I enjoy the "getting ready" for the winter so I am really like a little busy bee right up to the cold snap.
I took a photo this afternoon of one of my roses ~ big scenty rose still flowering! It is a sheer delight.

Lovely rose @TallTrees I didn't know they still flowered this late in the year. Gardening was never my best subject

Hi @dgilbert2
Thank you ~ this rose seems so happy to continue and has more buds on too. Quite a few of my
roses still want to continue.
I am glad you like it.

I have a rose still flowering. Called 'Just Joey' and also has more buds on. Quite unusual for this time of year.
(This isn't mine. Too dark to take a picture at the moment)

I mention only X-Factor and SCD specifically@EmilieT
because we have threads running on the forum. I could have added the return of Dr Who, as this is also a thread on the forum, but it's still too early to tell whether this is something to get excited about or not.
I could add loads of new and returning shows, some I'll be watching others, because I don't have Sky, I'll be buying the boxset to binge at a future date. I was particularly pleased to see there is a new series of Arrow. After the end of the last series I wasn't sure there'd be one
However, I didn't want to bore you all with my love of TV. If you've read any of my posts on here, you know that already, so 'nuff said

Beautiful rose @TallTrees. Love the colour 
Wish I had a green thumb but plants die on me, no matter what I do.

I know this isn't yours @Cleoriff but still it's beautiful and I love the colour.
Roses are my second favourite flower after orchids.

I didn't see it as migration but now it makes more sense I imagine you'd be happy to hibernate over winter as well then, like @Cleoriff does? Another way for nature to cope with the cooler weather 
Such a lovely rose, thanks for the picture! Some colour on this rainy day 
Oh I know about your square eyes, worry not
