Following on from my post this week about autumn, thinking today about some autumn things.


That smell when you turn radiators on for the first time,
Raindrops on spiders webs,
Leaves crunching underfoot, 
Autumn sunshine, 
Warming foods, like bananas and custard, casserole, baked apples, 
Snuggling down in a warm duvet, 
Hot chocolate, 
Cosy books, 
Costume dramas, 
Wellies and raincoats.

Autumn has really come now. The temperature has dropped quite a lot. But it's a gorgeous day.

Robins, 
Sunsets, 
Dew on the grass,
Sunshine,
Family, 
Sitting outside in October, 
Long autumn walks, 
Fresh autumn days, 
Cosy duvets, 
Laughter.

Feeling better this week, and today is the harvest festival celebrations! (post a little late this week, due to the harvest festival celebrations... sorry).

quiet autumn walks, 
the endless energy of toddlers, 
afternoons playing with trains, 
harvest,
bright, sunny mornings, 
bonfire smell, 
roses, 
blackberries, 
blackberry and apple crumble and custard, 
robins. 

The Little Things

This week I've been feeling groggy and horrible thanks to a cold, and a bit sorry for myself. Even more important to remember the little things!

Heinz Tomato Soup,
Dew on the grass,
The smell of rain,
Dragonflies,
Birds,
Roses,
Sunny September days,
Late afternoon swims, 
Baking,
Coffee and Alohomora!,
Online community. 

The Little Things

My last two posts have got me thinking.

Most specifically about little things, all those little moments that always make everything worthwhile. They're the moments, the tiny little things that you might take for granted, the things you miss if you don't stop for a while, and think listen, appreciate. I think I've posted about this before, and there's a wonderful poem somewhere about stopping to think and watch (I've posted it before - in fact you can read it here). There is even a magazine The Simple Things, which I love, and often treat myself to it.

Anyway, I try to do this. Try to stop and watch, listen. But sometimes its so easy to take things for granted.

Anyway, in honour of this, I'm going to try and post once a week about the small things that I have noticed/been happy about/grateful for that week - the little things. Whatever comes to mind. And please, contribute your own!

This week's little things:

Beautiful sunsets and skies, 
The sun streaked with pink, purple, and orange,
Still, September evenings, 
Dew on my bare feet in the mornings, 
Tea and laughter, 
Cake, 
Memories, 
The smell of sweet peas, 
Coffee with friends, 
Alohomora! on a Sunday morning, 
Dragonflies.
