Autumn Leaves...et al.

So I've had my little tantrum and given myself a few days to calm down - and surprisingly, it's worked! This, plus the change in weather (and other forces of nature), has massively helped my mood and I'm (getting) back to normal. Whatever 'normal' is.

I love the change in the colour of leaves during Autumn. Red, Orange, Yellow, Gold, shades of all of the above! Beautiful, wonderful, magical! This, coupled with a foggy and misty outlook, makes it seem almost Twilight-esque (for those who are fans, like me!) and has a air of romance. Experiencing this from a cosy, heated room, looking out onto the world, makes it feel even more mystical.

I do love the winter months...not because I like the cold in the slightest, but because it's the perfect opportunity to stay in, with a glass of wine/Bailey's/hot cocoa (take your pick!) and snuggle up under a throw watching movies or reading a book. And then stepping out into the fresh, misty (albeit cold!) air, feeling it hit your face after a day in the house, feels fabulous!

And when you're with a loved one...that's when the magic happens...
