Autumn

I put this shot of my silly new leprechaun shoes on Instagram the other day and Caroline replied that it was a properly autumnal picture. Leaves, tights, proper shoes not sandals...I can't deny it.


As someone with skin the colour of milk jelly, I've always liked autumn, even when it comes much too soon. Reasons why:

* Hibernation. Coming home in the evening and not leaving the house for fourteen hours
* Very cold but sunny mornings
* Listening to loud music on very cold but sunny mornings
* TIGHTS (the best kind of leg furniture), whether they're broderie anglais cream, wool rib in jaunty colours or black as the night
* Hot booze like mulled wine or hot rum toddies
* My selection of lurid skinny fit Seventies sweaters. Saved search terms: 'reindeer jumper'

Anything I've missed, or shall we stop pretending and just openly weep for days spent in the park?
