Saturdays

Our local Farmers Market has changed from a seasonal market to an all year long event. So every Saturday we go there to buy fresh veggies and once in a while other edibles. If is fits with Fleur's nap we usually go for a little walk as well. Like a couple of weeks ago when there were still some leaves on the trees, and it was damn cold and windy, we were happy that the nap didn't last too long, so we could cut the trip short.

Last weekend it started to snow just as we were at the Christmas market in the afternoon. It was almost a bit fairytale-like, but luckily it is still to warm for the snow to really settle. I hope we get on the opposite side of new years before any serious snow comes to town.

Colourful Körnerpark

 

On the last of the warm fall days, we went to Körnerpark to enjoy the sun and work up a little tan before winter hibernation. Now there are no more short sleeves and bare feet this year. Instead we are getting out the hot cacao and blankets so we can instead engage in some winter hygge.

Yellow Indian Summer

Last week, we had some exceptional warm fall days with up to 22 degrees. I was told this was due to a hurricane in Britain, that somehow pushed all the warmth our way. I will not complain, as I was already starting to get a little case of the blues now that we can't spend as much time outside.

Even though I love fall, I think we can all agree, that autumn is just nicer when the sun is shining. My usual nap-trip in the cemetery was a walk through rain of bright yellow leaves. Such a beautiful sight. I was thinking about how gathering all of these leaves must seem like an endless task for the people working there, but as soon as it starts raining they will turn into mud, so better remove them.

On days like this, I know why fall is my preferred season.

Allerød

Allerød is where I grew up.

Now that I have to walk a daily trip, I had the chance to visit some places, that I have not been in years. On one walk we passed my old school, took some of the routes that I used to take frequently and saw places that have changed and others that have remained the same.

I was so lucky with the weather. Many told me, that there has not been good days like this since my last visit in June. I think out of the two weeks I was there, we only had one bad day. Otherwise it was mostly warm and sunny. The day before I left, the fall really took over.
