What season do you like most?

Homebird

This week has reminded me that Spring is my favourite season. Unlike Autumn and Winter, seeing flowers appearing give hope.

Also I love warm sunny days either for a walk or to sit in the garden. The temperature at the moment is just right as summer can be too hot. The cool nights are much better for sleeping than the summer.

  • Rather than choose a favourite, I would rate the seasons (from best to worst) as:

    1. Spring

    2. Autumn

    3. Winter

    4. Summer

    Spring is such a wonderful time of year - there are so many pleasant colours and smells!

    Autumn and Winter are joint favourites for me. I love darkening evenings, the run-up to Christmas, the sense of the world easing into a sleep. The clear delineation between day and night, so that when you leave work it's already dark. A time for home and hearth, and occasional late night walks when I have the quiet streets to myself. I think I have a kind of reverse SAD actually!

    Then Spring.

    Then Summer. The most overrated season. Often way too hot, full of buzzing things trying to get in your home, car, face. Way too bright everywhere you go. People playing radios outside. Odd looks if you're not comfortable exposing much skin on even the hottest days. No way to regulate the temperature of your home. 

    But... small amounts of sunshine are OK and low-key uplifting in carefully controlled doses.

    Of course, without the turn of the seasons, how would we appreciate our favourites? So I'm grateful for the inevitability of them all.
