Hi guys,

I absolutely adore the autumn/winter season and everything about it. I much prefer dark, cold nights to the long summer nights that most prefer, I'm not sure why. As much as I love going out, I prefer staying in and curling up with a film and a takeaway, and it's much more socially acceptable to do this in winter than it is in summer haha. I hope you enjoy my reasons for loving autumn, and leave me yours in the comments below!
