Tony.London Suburbs Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Its September and The Carnival is well and truly over for another year.So lets get real Guys, summer is now finished... Conkers are will soon be falling, blackberries, mostly, tantalisingly out of reach, have disappearred. The apple-picking season, usually associated with autumn, began around two weeks ago.It will soon be cold, wet and the shops will soon be full of winter clothes. Are we in autumn already?Clocks will soon be turned back and you will leave your work in darkness as the gloom descends around you.You will probably arrive home bedraggled as you contemplate the dark, long, evening in front of you before you return to the sanctity of work again.At least we will have those cheery Christmas adverts to look forward to as we while away the hours until next Summer comes.( Its about 6,500 hours until June, 2010).Anyway, have a nice day y'all....

Ted Max Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 "Wearing hats in the dark" sounds like a good title for the sort of slim volume of poetry one might find in your favourite uncle's smallest room. The poem "Night cap" (page 12), being a particular favourite of your uncle's, is often quoted as he takes his tumbler up to bed with him...

PeckhamRose Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I remember a few years ago the Eastern Europeans brought over for the job, were still picking ripe fruit in Lincolnshire in November because it was still so warm!It's normally this time of year I go on a road trip round England but I have had little work this year, so I can't afford to go. It's a fab time to go away, cheaper B&Bs and emptier roads and the tourist places are free of - tourists!But I still like this time of year, till about late October.What a beautiful day it is today!

Peckwich Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 It's the short days and long nights I don't like. It just feels wrong to struggle out of bed in the dark and commute to work when the sun is still rising.

???? Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Is it September the 2nd or November the 2nd? September's a great month - normally fine dry warm weather, still pretty long days, leaves etc still on the trees.... and my birthday. There's a touch of melanchony on here completley unwarranted...(although we do understand you are speeding through your Autumn years Tony) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7765-the-carnival-is-over-summer-is-no-more/#findComment-243169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 It's a pleasant melancholy, though, Quids. September is a great, gorgeous, golden hurrah of a month, full of sunshine that feels like a treat rather than an entitlement, the beginning of the loveliest season in Peckham Park as the tips of the trees start to fly their autumn colours, and the excuse for just one more lazy weekend lunch outside, but it is of course the beginning of the end and the nip in the air is a reminder of the long dark winter ahead.
