The Autumn thread #4 We thought the heatwave would last all year but Autumn is finally here!

My Hotel Velvetizer thinks it's Autumn, it's been used so much recently

This reminded me of you lot

I absolutely LOVE autumn. It helps my birthday is at the beginning of October I think there is something magical about the start of the season. I have fond memories of buying all my new stationary ready for school, and that fresh "new beginning" feeling you get when the kids are off in crisp new uniforms, or you are excited to start a new course. The sun is mostly still shining and there's a slice of cold in the air every morning. The trees are starting to turn and it just looks beautiful. A traditional September/October is when the UK is it's most beautiful IMO.

I'm a bit sad that for many, bonfire night isn't what it used to be thanks to some idiots ruining it. I've got amazing memories of my dad lighting a big fire, making a "guy" to put on it, having sparklers and fireworks. Learning about guy fawkes in school and doing colourings of firework explosions, and having burgers and jacket potates on the night itself. These days we just go to a display.

Halloween doesn't need any explanation I still decorate my house to the max and take my youngest trick or treating. Deffo promising myself a halloween party this year!

I think seeing different countries in autumn gives me rose tinted glasses because it’s not quite as beautiful in the uk as other places

Thought I better go through my autumn decor boxes before I get carried away shopping this year Turns out there’s a lot I’d forgotten about so it was time well spent…my stocks of pumpkin spice candles are low though so will be making a beeline for TKMaxx/Homesense once they have them in

Yes I also need some Autumn candles.

I can’t wait to go and smell the new Yankee candles, it’s my big weekend plans

I’m hoping summer doesn’t arrive in September! I know it’s usually warmish in October but I don’t want a heatwave when it’s my fave time of year!!

I get so annoyed when this happens, like it did last year! I just want the seasons to stay in their lanes

 

[Honeystar]

I hate the heat (unless I'm on holiday) but I would happily take a hot summer if it meant we got a proper autumn September-November.

You can never have enough autumnal candles!

I actually had 3 candles lit in the living room yesterday as it was cold and pouring with rain for most of the day! Felt very much more like autumn than it did summer, so the candles had to come out!

I do love Yankees but I only buy them on sale now - I cannot bring myself to pay £30 for a large jar!

I've been buying Yankee candles for about 20 years but they're nowhere near as good as they used to be I only buy the tarts now.

If I buy them, it's usually from candles direct. They used to have a massive selection, and lots of different brands, but it's dwindled down in recent years - still good for a bargain though! There's a few large Christmas Yankees on sale for £14.99 if anyone was looking to put some away for gifts/themselves

I also really like the DW Home candles. I've heard mixed reviews online about them, but all I've the candles I've bought, have been great

Yes I've bought DW Home candles from TK Maxx/Homesense and they have been fine.

I've just ordered the autumn crocs from Next

 

[duckdinner]

It's cold and rainy for the rest of the night, so the jumpers are on and the candles are lit again
I've currently got a DW Home mulled cider, Christmas eve by Yankee and a mystery votive - I think it might be the pink Christmas cookie one, snowflake cookie?

Apparently I have skipped autumn and am in full Christmas mode already

We currently have a Christmas candle lit because I completely ran out and it’s all we had in the cupboard I do love Summer (and Autumn) but I’m not even mad about it

 

[coconochanel]

Not seen any Autumn candles in Home Bargains or TK Maxx yet, only seen some on the Next website.

Two for me, I (slowly) start breaking out the Autumn things as soon as September hits.
