Goodbye Summer Hello Autumn

Goodbye Summer Hello Autumn. Happy Friday lovelies and welcome to Autumn. So I hope you have had a lovely week? Are you also all ready for the weekend?

Welcome To The Weekend Link Up. Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have fun at this week’s blog hop.

Goodbye Summer. We’ve had a blast. It has been great knowing you. You have been kind to us. Maybe a bit too kind with the heatwave!?

You know you are my favourite season right!? I hate being cold or wet or both in autumn/winter!

Goodbye Summer Hello Autumn

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn: Embracing Cosy Days Ahead:

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn: Embracing Cosy Days Ahead. As the long, sun-soaked days of summer slowly fade, there’s a certain magic in the air.

We were totally spoilt this year and now as I type this post up the wind is fierce and the rain is fast.

The crispness of the breeze, the golden hues of the leaves, and the unmistakable charm of autumn make this transition one of my 2nd favourite times of the year.

Autumn has now arrived. It is time to pack the white jeans and sandals away and pull out the cardigans, jumpers and boots.

Time to start layering up and keep warm and cosy. Thanks for being so wonderful Summer. Until we meet again!!

Goodbye Summer Hello Autumn

Goodbye Summer Hello Autumn.

Goodbye, Summer Sun! While I’ll miss the beach days, BBQs, and endless daylight, there’s something so refreshing about the shift from summer to autumn. I will also miss days off with the children and lots of laughter.

The memories of spontaneous summer holidays, the scent of coconut sunscreen, and evenings that seemed to last forever will always have a special place in my heart.

I hope we don’t get extreme weather conditions in Autumn as we did in Summer with the heatwaves.

(4 pairs of my trainers are already soaked this week from walking Mollie from the storms!!).

Today I am sharing some snaps from our Summer holidays in Butlins. Before the sun goes in altogether and the sunglasses get stored away. Until the snow arrives!!

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn: Embracing Cosy Days Ahead. So now, it’s time to pack away the sandals and vests and welcome layers, scarves, and boots back into our wardrobes!

There’s something so comforting about wrapping up in a cosy knit and sipping on a warm drink while watching the leaves dance in the wind, isn’t there?

    I can’t tell you how much I love your dress, Claire! It seems, too often, that maxi dresses are more “fussy”.

    • 23 September 2018 / 19:39

      Thank you. Yes I find the fussier they are I can never find the right shoes to fit so I do not wear them.
