Why we love Autumn
Ah, Autumn, the evenings are drawing in and the days are feeling just that little bit cooler. Crowds are disappearing from the beaches, parks and woodlands, as the world heads indoors to cosy up. But wait, long stretches of empty beach? Uninterrupted vistas? Woodlands filled with nothing but their magical show of golden hues and piles of leaves ready for crunching? For us, it’s the perfect time of year for Not Coming In. A time for comfy clothes, cosy layers and flasks of steaming hot chocolate.
There are so many reasons to love Autumn – these are just some of our favourites.
Rich colours
From country to coast, the UK is home to a plethora of breathtaking outdoor spaces. But autumn is when the UK’s natural beauty really comes to life. As nature eases into its annual slumber, it puts on a display of rich colour like no other. A beautiful palette of golden yellow, brown and red envelops the countryside, turning a walk in the woods into an awe-inspiring tour of nature. Sunsets feel like they last longer and glow stronger than any other time of year – so no matter where you are, it’s possible to see the rich colours of autumn.

Layering up
Layering season is finally upon us! We’re so ready for fresh, crisp mornings, leaf-strewn paths and evenings under the stars. Now’s the time to grab your new, favourite jumper or jacket and get out to see Autumn in all its glory. Fill a stylish bag with cosy accessories and you’re set for anything! Once all your adventuring is done, there’ll be nothing better than pulling on some snug pyjamas… even if you do sneak back out for one last peek at the best kind of blanket out there… the blanket of stars!
Comfort food
We’re not just talking pumpkin spiced lattes (even though they are delicious!). We’re talking proper food that warms the soul after a big day adventuring. Hearty stews, soups, bakes, roasts, pies – all packed with seasonal root vegetables and perhaps accompanied with a glass (or two) of your favourite tipple.

Autumn is a wonderful time of year for celebrating. Festivities such as Halloween and Bonfire Night are the perfect opportunity to get together with friends and family and have some fun.
Go "out out", stay in, carve pumpkins, throw a Halloween party with homemade fancy dress, bob for apples, and toast marshmallows in the garden. However you enjoy Halloween and Bonfire Night this year, have fun, stay safe and enjoy time well spent with the ones you love.
