It's getting cold and Halloween is just around the corner - it's literally tomorrow -, which can only mean one thing. It's Autumn. Some of you have been waiting for it since Christmas, others might not be as pleased with the frequent rain and cold wind that have made their entry in our everyday lives. I include myself in that last category. I do like some aspects that come with Autumn - like I made clear last year in this post -, but I just don't get why people would want to go outside and go for long walks when it's absolutely freezing your blimmin' nose off. Obviously, in films they make it all very romantic with scarves and cuddles and leaves that have turned the park into a beautiful orange and red duvet, but in reality, it hardly ever is like that. For me, anyway.
But, unless I move to California tomorrow, I'm going to have to deal with it - every single year - and I'm planning on doing that by doing one thing, and one thing only: baking. Because if there's anything that can cheer me up in these dark cold rainy days - I'm exaggerating, I know, but you should hear me when it gets to Winter - it's curling up on the couch and watching a movie or reading a good book with a cup of tea or hot chocolate and some home made deliciousness. Should my baking succeed, that is. Sometimes it's absolutely inedible, but yeah, life happens.
