My so-called ex-pat life has been filled with nostalgia recently. I was wondering where all these memories were flooding from and then realised it was because of the weather. Two years ago my family was experiencing our first autumn in England. Autumn has not usually been my favourite time of the year. Some how there are all these things I am experiencing again make me feel comforted in memories. The colder weather that requires coats, hats, and scarves. Finding interesting leaves, conkers, and colourful ivy covered walls. The rainy days in England where umbrellas pop up all over town. Rushing inside to warm ourselves up with a cup of tea. There are all these elements of autumn which bring back cherished memories. It has made me look back at old photographs from 2011 and I found this series I took of my family in London. On our way to our intended destination we found a huge amount of fallen leaves which resulted in a spontaneous play session. We had so much fun playing in the leaves and I really enjoy the photos we captured of the event. It has made me realise when thinking of travel and seasons that I really do love London in the Autumn and Winter time. Here are some of my favourites from that cold but memorable day:

ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful photos. You guys look like you belong in a fall clothing magazine :) I usually love Fall in the United States, but at the moment SA is going through Spring, which is also nice.
ReplyDeleteThose are such beautiful pictures. My favorite time to travel is normally summer...it's hard for me to pick though because I do love the change of seasons and seeing different places at different times of the year. I would go anywhere that I haven't been before!
