Autumn is officially here!

Instead of being sad that summer has gone, we've put together a list of reasons that autumn is secretly the best season...

1. You’re not really hot when the sun shines

Not too hot, not too cold, just right.

2. You get to kick leaves!

And they make a satisfying noise when you walk…

3. Hot and cosy coffees are back on the menu

No more iced frappe mocha chocca whatta drinks.

4. Jumpers and coats make a return

No more pretending you're warm enough in just a t-shirt, plus you get to lay in the leaves - can you tell we love autumn leaves?

5. It’s not really, really cold yet

Scarf, but no wooly hat.

6. All the leaves turn red and orange!

We’re going on about leaves a lot, but they’re really cool when they’re red and everywhere right?

7. Conkers!

Great for playing, collecting and apparently keeping the spiders out!

8. Halloween is pretty cool right?

Costumes and loads of sweets, what more could you want?

9. Bonfire night

Arguably more towards the start of winter but still, welcome you beautiful (far-too-loud) fireworks display!

10. You can officially start counting down to Christmas

Any countdown before the autumn is definitely invalid. All the fun starts here!
