Well hello to you, my reader chums! I admit, summer is my season. I adore everything about the sunshine, longer days, spending every weekend by the beach, and eating all the ice cream possible. I'm forever in love with summer days, picnics in the park, swimming in the sea, and morning strolls to grab a pastry in the sunshine. There's something about that that fills my heart with joy.
Despite my love for summer, I love autumn time. The cosy activities and winding down into winter, are the ideal time for introverts. Autumn is a fabulous season because of the gorgeous colours, cute fashion and cosy activities, such as film evenings, baking and forest walks.
If you're not a fan of waving bye to summer, here is my guide on how to embrace the joys of summer in autumn.
Make the most of the daylight
Vitamin D is essential for our mental and physical wellbeing. Even though in England, we aren't guaranteed sunshine, especially in the autumn and winter weather, embracing the daylight is crucial. Whether it's getting out for a morning stroll, running errands at lunchtime or enjoying a cup of coffee in the park, make the most of the daylight. It can be hard, especially if you work a 9-5, but that's why it's even more important to make that time, such as getting outside in your lunch break or before you begin work in the morning.
Eat ice cream every day
I'm an ice cream girl and I love the hot weather, it's an excuse to eat as much ice cream as I wish. And, just because it starts to get cooler, doesn't mean the ice cream needs to stop. Eat it as you would in the summer and enjoy the small joy it can bring to your day.
Continue your outside hobbies
I'm terrible for this but as soon as the weather gets cooler or it rains more, I stop doing outdoor activities, such as running, reading at the beach or heading out on a hike. Don't let the weather stop you from doing this. All you need to consider is preparing more, such as wearing a rain jacket and layers, ensuring you're warm enough to partake in the activity.
Book a holiday
My favourite time of year to go away is the in-between seasons because it's quieter, cheaper and generally in many destinations out of the UK, the weather can still be lovely. Book a holiday in this time can help you embrace the joys of summer as that's usually a time when many have that holiday feeling. Whether it's a city break or a beach holiday, enjoying a holiday in the sunshine feels like summer will never end.
Wrap up and go on a walk
I love a walk, whether it's first thing in the morning or an afternoon stroll. Walking is a fab way to embrace nature and the world around you. Granted, in autumn, it's not as sunny and warm in the summer, but that shouldn't take away the fun of a walk. Put on a warm fleece or jumper, your best walking shoes and bring a raincoat for good measure and enjoy the autumn colours.
Watch the sunrise/sunset
I adore watching the sunrise and sunset, both are some of my favourite activities and in the autumn, they hit differently because sunny days aren't as promised. If you're heading out in the morning or evening, embrace it like the summertime but with an extra few layers and a hot drink.
