Yes, I'd say you was the only person looking forward to winter. The frackin country grinds to a halt with an inch of snow ffs!

You exaggerate, sir.

The snow which causes the country to shut down is a once in ten year event. Not worth spending money on planning for.

You're asking a man what growing up is?
I think you and I need to have a little chat, rodent to fastener.

Pst... Pogle... Zippy's a girl..

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near...

Reflections on the water,
like shadows in my mind
Speak to me of passing days,
and nights, and passing times.
The autumn leaves are whispering
"Winter's on it's way"
I close my eyes remembering
the warmth of yesterday.

It seems a shame to see September
swallowed by the wind.
But more than that it's oh so sad
to see the summer end.
And though the changing colours
are a lovely thing to see,
if it was mine to make the change
I think I'd let it be.

But I don't remember hearing
anybody asking me.......

I noticed brown leaves on the ground for the first time on Friday. I like autumn, I like the crisp fresh air, I like putting on a big jacket and feeling it's value. I''m looking forward to running in the park when I am off in 3 weeks time and taking my best camera out to get snaps of the trees.

Winter always fails, so does summer with it's promises of BBQ weekends, and spring which is just the anticipation of summer. Give me autumn.

It was 38C in Mallorca, I got sunburned. It was just like being in Swansea

Autumn is my favourite season. Last autumn was particularly good with a fresh cold snap turning the lush summer foliage golden brown under bright blue skies. A long morning walk with the dog and a long lunch in front of the fire is the best way to enjoy it.

hmmmm

I was going to mention this as well today.

Pnissed it down all weekend - at one point I had to properly baton down the hatches as water was going everywhere.

This morning has been the first where I've actually felt a chill when dragging my lazy arse out of bed.

Erm .. what is this growing up thing you speak of?

Board tags are in the [][/] format, it wasn't an attempt at Markup.

Apparently you've forgotten what a pedant is, oh well........

Well, I am aware that an ellipsis is three dots you spud.

Going to stick my fingers in my ears and go la la la at this point. Yes it has got colder but despite being bred for a colder climate myself, I don't really like winter. (unless it's a proper winter with snow and matchstick sellers dying in shop doorways)

WHS

Summer = trips to the beach with the kids, Wimbledon, Cricket, NO FOOTBALL, barbecues with friends, le Tour, no heating bills, windows open, evening walks.

Winter = frosted windscreens, getting up in the dark and cold, getting home in the dark and cold, basically just dark and cold all the freakin time.

it's = it is in case you didn't know......

Am I the only person looking forward to winter?

No. The Missus always suffers in the summer.

Right now, I am fractious because it is hot and humid. I am sweating and uncomfortable because it is so humid; we had really light drizzle earlier and it has made everything damp.

I hate nights like this.

[BolshieBastard]

I noted today for the first time that we've had a fall off in air temperature in the last few days and that autumn is finally here.

Am I the only person looking forward to winter? I can't stand warm weather (I'm genetically a Viking) but it's lovely to have the cooler air around.
