True true.
Maybe its cos Summer was a bit of a dud this year, so I'm not so bothered its over 
It's all downhill from now on. Winter is coming! Etc.
And harvest time
Harvest Festival at school and in church is a great memory
ME!
I love all the seasons for different reasons, that's why I like living in the UK. I would hate to live anywhere that we hot most of the year or did not have winter.
Leaves, leaves, conkers and leaves... did I mention leaves?

Yes same here 
Its just Autumn I like, mind.
Winter can do one! 
No ... I dont like these dark nights by 7 and hate it even more when we change the clocks 
on a plus note it will be nice to get the slow cooker going with some nice hearty dinners
I love Autumn.. it's my favourite season. I love the dark nights too.. curtains shut, all cosy.. perfick.

I agree Vids ... let's have hot summers (like this year, it was fab) and cold winters.
Proper seasons
no sorry, I absolutely detest dark nights...I find them depressing and count the seconds until the clocks alter

Some suggestions for the winter blues:
Candles
Nice fire
Hot punch, eggnog [or just booze in general ] Thats how the Scandinavians get through the long nights 
Spiced apple cider - drank hot

When I was a kid growing up in the 80s winters were proper winters...really cold.

No thanks - have you seen the price of oil!
Are you planning on spending winter in your car.? 
Also... Dia de los Muertos 1st-2nd November if you want to keep celebrating after Halloween

The cold winters are needed to keep plants e.t.c. in check. When the natural effects of cold winters on insects does not happen you end up with anomalous effects the following year.

This pretty much sums up how I feel. I love all of the seasons for different reasons. But Autumn, oh god the colours of Autumn are just stunning.
