3 good things about autumn

Autumn is nice in the North, at least before November crosses the threshold. I agree with everything you describe, on all points. Of course, I don't have much access to shellfish here in the Åland Alps in Geta, but they taste good if they are suddenly available in a fish shop south of Mariehamn. We pick mushrooms every day when we go out on our daily exercise round which is quite long with head down and arse up. But this is where they are and this is where they should be picked. Enjoyable in many ways and this winter we remember these days particularly well as we eat mushrooms in many different ways.
Have a nice weekend!

Seafood buffet... Mmmm how good! And chanterelles... A definite luxury item down here.

The best thing about autumn is that the heat lingers - shorts and tank tops still apply. And the light. Sure, it gets darker here too, but not quite as dark as up north.

Have a great Friday!

Of course, the early autumn here at home can also be nice. But I know what I think in November and I'm happy to leave for more southern regions.

Seafood in Sweden in the autumn is a favourite, as are good mushrooms.

I can imagine that you are looking forward to Grand and their seafood buffet. It is like so much else at Grand absolutely "outstanding". Have tried it a few times. And will do it again.

The best part of the week? Madrid! Without a doubt.

Nope... I don't like autumn, maybe it's the darkness... well here it's already dark at 7pm and at 7am it's still pitch black 😉.
Then it's been raining every day since Sunday, so right now I'm pretty sick of grey weather.

But I'm not all negative 😉 tonight C & R are coming over for dinner, that's a fun thing 😀.

First - what wonderful photos. Karlberg Castle! Fantastic!
Reminds me of the night I was at the ball there with my wife.
former fiancé (1950) 😉
Autumn here has been, and still is, incredibly beautiful. The leaves
remain on the trees and begin to flame. Early autumn is the best
time to visit the eastern part of the USA.
Happy news - Washington Capitals won the hockey match against
Ottawa last night. Happy, happy!
But then there was Las Vegas - something that got me so depressed the other day that I almost didn't want to get out of bed.
There are no mushrooms to pick and no berries either. Shellfish
is nothing to me, except Dungeness crab in San Francisco.
So elegant to go to the Grand; never been there.
Oh, a funny thing today - I'm going to my volunteer job at "my"
up-scale flea market. Is always fun! Nice end of the week!

Hi, I was so excited to meet you that I forgot to introduce myself. I apologise for the mistake. Very nice to see your nice houseboat and your welcoming faces. My name is Annar and I live in Höganäs

The best thing about autumn is that it's BEAUTIFUL with all the colours, autumn is calm and relaxed, you can treat yourself to just being inside and doing nothing if you want... And I think it's wonderful to live in a climate with four seasons! But my favourite is still summer.... because I like light and warmth. And colour!

Nothing wrong with October...
Just arrived from Pamplona to San Sebastian. How good can a 60+++ have it? Now I am waiting for your November report ?

Like Ruth, I want to start by complimenting you on the photos - they are absolutely superb. The last picture takes the prize! Sell the photo to a photo agency!
It's good that you have searched and found something positive about autumn. Agree with you about seafood and the excellent "ICA forests" in the nearest shop. Seafood buffet at the Grand - WOW. I really look forward to that post:-)

There are so many positive things about autumn too. It's not as crowded, out on the pitches anymore, there are places left when you arrive. The warm floors inside are another enjoyable feeling. There is time to read and just feel good. We do not long for the south this time of year, possibly in February, March, to meet spring earlier.

I can't say what the best thing about autumn is. But right now it's the chestnuts!
