I always seem to start my day the same, I wake up I smile then I get up out of bed put on my slippers and I go down stairs and make a brew and some breakfast. I also do that at festivals well without the getting my slippers on and walking down stairs for brew and breakfast.
Yesterday it was a warm day I decided to go for a walk in the fields again. I gathered blackberries and watched the butterflies.
Whilst I gathered the blackberries I was talking to whoever was listening and telling them how my favorite season is slowly approaching whenever I see blackberries in all their ripeness. Autumn is my favorite season I look forward to warm jumpers and the colours changing within nature where ever I look, it inspires me so much with my art and writings.
I think of a set of books I read when I was a kid Brambly Hedge by Jill Barklem. The life within the seasons for some mice living in a hedge.
Whenever I go foraging I feel like one of these mice gathering food for the Store Stump for when the colder months set in. I didn't gather many blackberries yesterday but it did make me happy collecting them. I plan to put them in my freezer and gather more. I'll also get some big baking apples too and then I can make one of my favorite autumn treats, apple and blackberry pie.
Yes I'm a little fae creature but I'm also like a wild animal I like to gather food and then wrap up warm.
I put it down to reading about animals by Jill Barklem and Beatrix Potter as a child why I have the imagination I got, I mean whenever I see these wild animals on tv , or out on my walks I always imagine them doing their daily routine how us humans see them and then out of site I see their cozy little homes with bedrooms, kitchens, larders, living rooms etc. It's one of the things which makes me I guess , my wild and wonderful imagination.
And on my walks I'm half expectingley to hear a rabbit 'come in and rest your feet and I'll put the kettle on', It's little things like this which makes me rather sane or insane but makes me happy and makes think of my own mum in her kitchen making pies, puds and lots of tasty meals.
I'm also looking forward to one of my favorite autumn treats, Starbuck's pumpkin spice treats.. ahhh heaven sitting in a warm coffee shop on a cold day with a pumpkin spice latte and pumpkin spice slice after shopping or even just sitting to watch the world go by.
We're currently in the last full week of August dear reader hasn't this year gone fast.. Autumn will be almost here and soon we'll be seeing pumpkins and Halloween things in every shop. I'm looking forward to putting on a my hat, scarf and and gloves again and shopping for more jumpers (hehehe) :-) . I'm also going to go out and take photos of this lovely season too,
