Not my cup of tea.<br />I thoroughly enjoyed reading your thoughts on work and retirement. I'd so much rather be able to stay home and potter in the garden and house, but once I'm there I love being with the children, and I love the job for the most part. I imagine I'll miss it when I don't do it anymore.<br />You are certainly working some long hours. Living like moles would be unpleasant to say the least. Our nights are "drawing in" too and all the plants have now been zapped by heavy frosts. Bah humbug.<br />I'm glad you still have your plants. I hope the Busy Lizzy is still surviving when you get back from your vacation.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-4004641367418739632009-10-09T21:42:33.636+01:002009-10-09T21:42:33.636+01:00Yes yes, you will, it will!

Funny how only the transitional seasons, spring and autumn, bring with them those 'snapshots of the mind'.<br /><br />'The nights are drawing in' always tempts me to rejoinder 'As Thomas A'Becket said to the actress...' but Tom find this a bit upsetting!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-6623158529641242672009-10-09T08:55:14.663+01:002009-10-09T08:55:14.663+01:00Perhaps it is the Southern Hemiphere, but I still ...Perhaps it is the Southern Hemiphere, but I still love Autumn the best.

I think it goes back to the fat days when I could finally cover up and not have the chafing/swaet problems of summer!! Isn't that terrible!!<br /><br />Still, I like it now - the slight chill, the mists, the crunchy leaves, new clothes, different food, berries on trees and a really good few months of socialising up to Christmas! I don't know what it is but I always see more people and do more fun stuff between October and December than in the rest of the year put together!<br /><br />Lesley xLesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197039686417212109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-54292753098597400492009-10-08T21:21:11.465+01:002009-10-08T21:21:11.465+01:00I love autumn and I don't even mind that we li...I love autumn and I don't even mind that we live in pretty much perpetual darkness from October to March. In the days when I ran, I used to like running on dark mornings.

I don't really have a favorite season -- I think I just love the change of seasons and the transition into new activities.

September I love, there are still warm days, days to sit in the garden, days to still pretend it's summer but October... yuk.<br /><br />I hate being so horribly affected by the seasons - I guess I just wish we had proper summers and less grey days. <br /><br />One day I will retire to Queensland!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723667016158831955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-36840804783182583142009-10-08T07:21:25.962+01:002009-10-08T07:21:25.962+01:00In Australia it gets dark early all year but it is...In Australia it gets dark early all year but it is light early in the mornings I used to like the long light nights in the summer I miss them.<br /> Hugs Mary.Scottish Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418899549096176115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-21573546525794767512009-10-08T02:52:37.807+01:002009-10-08T02:52:37.807+01:00I remember walking home from school and seeing the...I remember walking home from school and seeing the moon rising as the year drew to a close! The days are getting shorter here too, but the best weather for us is around the corner! Cool nights, gentle breezes, no snow or sleet or howling winds or hail. It's worth enduring Florida summers to have such lovely winters!<br />When those 367 days are over we'll have to teach you how to quilt!mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-70624186807979332562009-10-08T00:10:39.895+01:002009-10-08T00:10:39.895+01:00A countdown has begun.
