As the wonderfully warm Summer draws to a close in the most spectacularly dreary fashion, I have found myself contemplating which is my favourite season. Surely the blue skies and kaleidoscope of Summer is more of an attraction than the drabness of the colder months?
But with September comes the wonder of the natural world:
Finding the first conker of the year.
Prising it open it to discover that the much longed for and anticipated conker is still white, with just a smidgen of chestnut brown.
But then spotting another one floating in the dammed stream in the gutter.
And there it is, the first shiny conker. The one that no-one in the world has ever seen before.
And then, there's the water.
All the water.
So you can let it beat you, stay in and moan about the incessant rain running in rivulets down the windowpanes. Or you can put on wellies and a mac and go and enjoy all the water.

Definitely put on wellies. What fun to be jumping in puddles. Lovely photos. #CountryKids
Brilliant – definitely get out and splash in the puddles! Love the exuberant splashing 🙂 #CountryKids
I love autumn – and the playing in the crunchy brown leaves. I'm looking at these #countrykids pics and can't wait to go outside and play.
I love that video of the boy puddle jumping 🙂
Love Autumn too. More for the leaves and colours and excitement of darker nights and getting cosy. Puddle jumping looks fun though!
I love the fact that The Boy is still using the umbrella but making giant splashes in the puddles! This definitely beats being bored watching the rain from inside, thanks for sharing your outdoor fun with Country Kids.
I'm a big fan of Autumn too, love bulkier clothes etc. Thanks for supporting the outdoor play party too. Kierna

Autumn is by far the greatest of the seasons.

It's a treasured moment, prising open a fresh shiny conker. I still love that feeling! xx

We are huge fans of Autumn over at Food and Motherhood too, love being able to get a bit more muddy and a lot less sandy!
