The Rugby Player returned to pre season training last week. It's the closest thing we have to "back to school" in our house. There's lots more evidence of the Summer drawing to a close including autumn fashion in the shops which disappoints me but there is some things about the autumn and start of winter I love, so I am trying to focus on those.
I am looking forward to new winter boots and wearing cosy knitwear again, to making stew, shepherd's pie and apple crumble, to planning for Christmas (love it ... but more of that later,) and to it being slightly easier to convince the princess to go to bed as it'll be dark.
In the meantime I plan to use the bar-b-q, clothes line and buckets and spades well into October so I'm not wishing it away yet!
