You’ve just given me a wonderful idea. I’m a forager, rosehips grow in my garden and in my local nature reserve and I’m confident picking them. I always make something with rosehips and something with elderberries but my elderberry harvest is really small this year just 50g so I’m going to combine the two and make an elderberry and rosehip syrup. I’ll add it to my morning yoghurt when I need an immunity boost. I usually make a jelly of each but I think this will work perfectly with my small elderberry harvest. Thank you for the inspiration!
I love the idea of solar charging. We walk every single day no matter the weather. I’m surprised how many times we’ve hit a patch of the only sunlight of the day. It makes a difference!
I love bright autumn days but do struggle with endless grey. Katherine May’s book Wintering inspired me with a new way to approach the season of shorter days and your piece has picked up perfectly on a shift in mindset which will help me on this grey day - my first back at work after a planned operation didn’t happen (again) and I’m going to make it a lovely, cosy, candlelit one. First, am getting dressed and taking a walk to the post box to get myself outside - excellent advice!
This is exactly my issue. The crisp, bright days, autumnal colours and styling opportunities excite me, but so often in the UK what we actually get is grey and rain. Getting outside and using Victoria’s idea of solar charging is key.
Dreaming of pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies and pumpkin spice lattes. I do harvest my own rose hips, but only after the first frost when they are super packed with vit c.
Thank you so much for sharing these. 😊🍂✨ I spent some time out in the garden today, and then for tea my husband made a casserole, I also made myself a hot chocolate, and got cosy to read some of my book.
Thank you for these lovely autumn wellbeing tips. I am an autumn soul and so I don’t need much encouragement but these ideas will definitely help to immerse myself fully within cosy season! xx
Apple and medlar picking did once in Vermont. Soon as we got a box gray clouds let loose snow flurries. Had to head down the mountain to the inn where early snow out side and warm fireside’s glow with travelers stories tipped glasses and good cheers.

That sounds wonderful!

It really does make a difference! Such an easy thing to overlook too

Yes, that is a great book! Hope you had a nice cosy day to help buffer the return to work a little

Looks like we have a sunnier stretch of weather on the way JP! Brighter Autumn days on the horizon, with styling opportunities galore 🤞🏻

oooh, pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies! And good tip for harvesting rosehips after the first frost, thanks
Three ingredients: spice cake mix, can of pumpkin puree and chocolate chips. Amazing!
🧡
Thank you for such generous, inspiring suggestions! I really struggle with long dark evenings…..
I hope some of these suggestions help! Start with cake :)
Ordering rose hip tea today. I am an autumn lover. It’s my most favorite season. I am always grateful for the slowing it brings. 🍂
It’s a lovely season isn’t it 🫖
I love this!!
Very happy to hear that, thank you! 🍁
My favorite part of autumn is getting cozy!!
Oh mine too! I need no excuse to lean into ALL things cosy 😀
