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.
