Before autumn really arrives

September is here! 

Summer is giving way to autumn and there are three things I've noticed today:

🍎 children have already gone back to school

🍎It rains more

🍎It gets chilly at night and early morning

🍎the days are getting shorter

I'm sure we will have lovely autumn

 but before it gets really autumnal

 I just want to have a last saying goodbye to summer,

 especially this summer.

 Well, the weather plays a big part in our daily life, mood and so on

 and we couldn't have a better weather this spring and summer - 

it was absolutely glorious!

 it's helped to make me feel marvellous!

Apart from the weather 

I think another reason I feel so great is my state of mind.

 I've just wanted to be happy and I mean unconditionally. 

Since spring, I decided to simplify my life

 - I wanted to do nothing for a change.

 I didn't plan for holiday. 

I didn't even leave Norfolk. 

I decided to spend time with myself, with my dog, with nature. 

I wanted to have a mindfulness and contemplative life and it was great.

Having lived in the countryside makes me connect with nature easily.

 I don't have to go very far to be able to communicating with nature

 - lucky, lucky me.

How could you not be thankful and appreciate this beautiful countryside? 

I don't know - I love it. 

During the summer, Norfolk was packed with holiday makers. 

Now summer rush is over, it's my turn to enjoy it.

 I've now booked annual leave for late September and October.

 I have a plan to be on holiday here in Norfolk - 

getting to know the county I'm living in with my doggy

 and I can't wait😍
