For about the last three weeks here in London it has done nothing but rain. Rain, rain, rain… rain and more rain! It’s pretty miserable, but hey- what can you do? Lots of plans of mine have been rained off- or I’ve gone ahead with them and come home soaked to the bone!
So anyway, I got to thinking about some seasonal things I can do to cheer up inside, even if I can’t go outside much. I made a pretty long list, and I’m going to share it with you- my 50 things (plus one extra one because I simply couldn’t resist) to do this fall! I did end up including a bunch of outdoor ones too because I figured that not everywhere in the world is miserable and wet right now!
So here goes- 50 things to do this fall!
- Watch seasonal movies and eat toffee popcorn
- Drink hot chocolate
