My Autumn To Do List

Outfit details at the bottom of the post

Autumn is here and I’m thankful for that. I mentioned in a previous blog post how I was in need of some happy non-adulting distractions, so I thought I’d compile a list (naturally) of things to do during my favourite time of the year.

1. Go for a romantic evening walk, with a hip flask of brandy and some sparklers.

2. Sort through my favourite summer family photographs, and make a 2019 calendar for my folks.

3. Invite friends to visit for a pudding night and a catch up over the kitchen table. Hello crumble.

4. Eat fish and chips on a beach.

5. Go for a riverside walk wrapped in a scarf, hat and gloves.

6. Win a game of Conkers!

7. Treat myself to a solo night in with an expensive bottle of red, a favourite movie and chocolate for company.

8. Carve pumpkins with my family.

9. Stargaze, even if only on the doorstep.

10. Make at least one slow cooker meal every week.

11. Dig out some classic novels to read.

12. Photograph the changing of the season.

13. Plan a day trip that includes a countryside train ride, and watch the world go by via a scenic railway line.

14. Treat myself to some new loungewear for cosy autumnal nights in.

15. Go window shopping for Christmas gift ideas

16. Perfect hot chocolate and drink lots of it.

17. Toast marshmallows on our open fire.

18. Buy seasonal blooms for my mum.

19. Go walking for a full day with a rucksack full of treats.

20. Visit new exhibitions at a favourite art gallery.

21. Go to the cinema on my tod, and soak up the peace and quiet, and the film of course.

22. Leave a few weekends open for doing nothing.

23. Eat somewhere new.

24. Begin unfollowing/muting people on social media that I don’t feel great about.

25. Be present for every single second of it.
