We've actually had this conversation before a few years ago (here but it's in the catacombs so I'll leave it up to the mods as to whether it's worth merging this. The topic has popped up again in the rant thread and it has generated a fair bit of discussion so I thought it might be nice to give it it's own space.
So with that out of the way, do you have a favourite season? Is there a season you particularly don't enjoy? Why?
For me, I love the autumn. I especially love that first chill just as we enter the season. When I know I can switch to factor 30 instead of 50, and that my lovely cosy woolies can come out of the cupboard. I love being outside, wrapped up warm in pretty knitwear, kicking the leaves with JP. Ooh and soup! Autumn is soup season.
I'm not a fan of summer. I burn easily and the sun hurts my eyes. I have bad skin too and in direct sunlight you can really see the massive open pores. As a redhead my hair also shines golden in sunlight, so any hair I have on my body or face, even if it's just normal fine hair, is highlighted by the sun. But I also have sensitive skin, so if I pluck, trim or wax I end up with inflamed blotchy skin. There's a reason I prefer to work during the night!
We're having a cold snap at the minute. It's so cold that in parts of Scotland they had ground frost, and my car-driving colleagues told me there was frost on their windscreens yesterday morning. I had to put the heating on at work last night and the smell of the radiators heating up for the first tame made me feel giddy.
Sadly we're due for another heat wave next week, but I don't mind. Autumn will come sooner or later.. the heat can't last forever.
Mwahahahaha
