Decorating for Autumn

Autumn is my favourite season, I even like the cosy feeling of a drizzly dank day, when I have the heating on in the house  and look out of the window, at the bright bursts of colour as the leaves  are rapidly changing. At the beginning of October I get my autumn box from the garage and begin to garland the house with pumpkins and candles.

I am reserving the more Halloweeny bits until next Monday, when my daughter and I will let rip with ghosts and cobwebs, and other spooky bits and pieces.  We are having some of her friends over for a Halloween Lunch, in fancy dress, so lots of excitement to look forward to.....

I love the mixture of homemade and shop bought
with reminders of the beach

We didn't have much luck with conkers this year
but there is always next Autumn

Isn't orange a cheery colour?

I love the hearts my daughter made with Hana beads

This papermache pumpkin has a staring role every year
I love it so much

Harlequin pumpkins are so rewarding
lovely texture and colours

A bowl of Kentish Cobnuts, 

And no autumn is complete without Quinces

Whichever way you look

It's a true delight
