Autumn is well and truly finally here, however you track when it starts (In meteorological terms autumn begins on 1st September but in Astrological terms, Autumn starts on the equinox which this year was 22nd September).
What does that mean for me, well for a start it marks my most favourite time of year, I love Autumn through to Winter. Firstly we have nice crisp mornings, walks in the beautiful woods turning all shades of colours collecting conkers, home to a nice squash soup and a good old cup of tea. Yes folks tea, which means my tea drinking has increased which means you can expect to see more tea videos and blog posts from me! I usually like to change my home decor when the season changes, I take out all my Summer stuff and replace it with an Autumnal theme but I haven't quite gotten round to doing that yet but I most likely will during Vlogtober so that I can show you all. I have decided to try and do Vlogtober this year on my Ginger Juice YouTube channel which means I will be posting a vlog every day in October. I enjoyed vlogmas so I thought why not try vlogtober!
Then we have Halloween although not widely celebrated here in the UK I still like it but of course us Brits have Guy Fawkes night, on 5th November a chance to have a bonfire, some nice warm chilli, soup in a mug and watch the fireworks. On a personal note I have my wedding anniversary with Mr B on 17th November and then the Christmas festivities begin. Whooop whooop!
Mr B and I have been out forraging for blackberries which this year have been so plump and delicious. I am so lucky that my husband loves to cook and finds it relaxing. The great thing about our house is we both love to cook but usually at the weekends Jon bakes a scrummy treat. Last weekend he made a crumble with the blackberries and I filmed him making it for his YouTube channel (wholesome day) which I have embedded below for you in case you would like to watch it.
Man I could go on about Autumn so much! I am really looking forward to 1st October, the start of my instagram challenge as I can't wait to see all of the Autumn inspired photos you guys will be posting. My brain is whirring with ideas for photos that I want to take. Do you love Autumn as much as I do? Let me know that I am not alone, what does Autumn mean to you?
I am also hoping to enter this competition...

ReplyDeleteIt is just fantastic isn't it x
DeleteYay for autumn. Your anniversary is the same time as my parents (different year of course). I think it's neat that you guys have Guy Fawkes night. I usually celebrate it, even though no one knows what I am talking about. Sigh. Your doing Vlogtober? That is so neat. I can't wait to watch most of your videos. I thought about doing it but I don't know. I think it would be hard for me...maybe.
ReplyDeleteAlso YAY for blackberries, yum. I love autumn too, I did write a full posts on why too. And instagram challenge? I may join in. =]
you should on both things lol! what is your blog / yt?
DeleteCan't wait for the challenge have never done one before!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your photos x
DeleteI love Autumn, I love the pretty colours of the leaves, and the darker,colder nights which you can get all snuggled up with a hot chocolate in front of the fire, reading a good book. I will be doing the instagram challenge, which i cannot wait to start :)

DeleteAutumn is my favorite time of year also. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I just love it x
DeleteAutumn in New York, especially in Mid State or Upstate NY is divine! Folks come from all over the Eastern Seaboard to see mother nature and all her rich earthly colorful glory. We've got farms galore, pumpkin patches, fresh apple cider, apple cider donuts, apple picking and hayrides. The nights are crisp and beautiful, the days divine. It is my most favorite time of the year here.
ReplyDeleteMy anniversary is the 22nd! My hubs, however is not a huge fan of cooking, with exception to Saturday or Holiday breakfast ;)
I've seen your vlogs and love seeing bits of your neck of the woods.
The berry picking reminded me of when we lived further Upstate along the river; the berry picking my children and I did then. We made Wild Berry River jam. My children are now all grown, but how they remember that jam! Tell Mr. B the Crumble looked so yummmy!
when you said about New York that reminded me of the film 'you've got mail' :D love thjat film. We would love to go to upstate one day, we really want to go to Maine. The way you have described it I want to go right now! That jam sounds lovely x
