As we enter deep into November, the second, harder part of Autumn starts here in France. Marked by the daylight savings week-end, this is the beginning of a period of cold weather, dark evenings and naked trees.
A period during which there are a lot of little moments to enjoy and contemplate to avoid feeling overwhelmed by this harsher weather. Here are a few of my Autumnal joys:
- Putting up seasonal decoration to cosy up my place
- Cooking seasonal treats with fresh ingredients
- Drinking hot beverages - such as spiced tea, or hot chocolate sprinkled with cinnamon
- Enjoying cosy evenings on my couchling with tea + a good read or my Xbox 360
- Filling the air with the warm scent of my perfume outdoors, or a scented candle at home

What are your remedies to approach seasonal changes? Do you enjoy Autumn as much as I do?
For some reason I always love it when I find out my favorite bloggers are also gamers!
ReplyDeleteI'm still not completely recovered from my vitamin deficiency and have lately taken up after-dinner-napping, which is made so much easier by the fact that it is dark outside at 5pm. My body just demands relaxation and rest, so I go with it. Netflix has become my new best friend, as has my faux-fur blanket and the real-fur poodle that likes to sleep in the nape of my neck. Things aren't bad at all, all things considered :)
And it's very nice to hear i'm among your favourite bloggers, thank you! I love your blog too, it's simple and very personal.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine Autumn and Winter can be hard in Northern Europe, the night falls even earlier than here in Winter right? It's a good thing there is the festive mood of December to help us get through this.
