Oh yes,I love that too Thumbs Up Reminds me of Keats - have you noticed how it's become 'less used' to form a phrase? Frowner


I think it just sounds like what it is.


Aw, It's lovely tho'. In any respect - sad for those who love Summer or Winter - but Autumnal conjures up 'falling leaves, change of natural light/ smells of nature, falling leaves/clothes/fashion/ cooler weather after a long hot summer' OK, I'm being unrealistic on some of the descriptions.

I love that word too. About three years ago I sat with my hubby and said that it felt a bit autumnal outside. He started really laughing at me and said I'd just made the word up! I had to show him a dictionary to prove it existed. He'll never live it down. Laugh


As I said it's not a word that's often used now - we seem to have adopted words such as 'Autumn like'. Roll Eyes Frowner

Nod And we say "summery" now instead of "vernal"

I know, true, it's so sad to think. Frowner
