10 Reasons Why October is a Superior Month


1. Sparklers // one childhood pleasure you never grew out of.

2. Getting all your jumpers out and feeling good about it // even though if you live in Britain you've likely been wearing them all summer anyway.

3. Ghost stories // all the more chilling around this time of year, don't you think? Which leads me on to...

4. Halloween // as a fan of anything spooky, there are a lot of things I appreciate about this holiday.

5. Cold and crispy air // not always great, especially if you haven't got your layers on, but when you're wrapped up nice and warm there's something very satisfying about stepping outside to a blast of cold air.


6. Autumnal colours // I love seeing all the streaks of red, orange and yellow through the green.

7. Stepping on crunchy leaves // a simple and necessary pleasure.

8. The smell of peat // in Ireland, particularly in rural areas, October is when you first start to smell turf fires burning-  my all-time favourite smell.

9. Conkers // I still get a bit of a thrill when I see them start to appear.

10. Candy apples // amazing, exclusive to October and one of your five-a-day.

  2. I love this post and just found myself nodding along to everything. October is definitely one of my favourite months, even though it's getting colder there are so many lovely things that come with it and make it really special! I really love when the nights start to get a little darker and you can snuggle up indoors with fairy lights and candles everywhere and a hot chocolate in hand, it just feels so nice and homely! And there is nothing better than the beautiful colours of autumn and the wonderful sunsets we have been having recently :)

  3. I love this post and found myself nodding along to everything you've written! October is such a wonderful month and even though it means we get colder weather there are so many other lovely things that come with it that make it special. I really love how it starts to get a little darker in the evenings, but not too early, and you can snuggle up with fairy lights and candles everywhere and a hot chocolate in hand - it just feels so warm and homely. And all the beautiful autumnal colours everywhere are so wonderful, I could just walk for hours admiring the changing landscape :)
