Why we love the autumn breeze

Leo

Autumn is definitely the best time of year. After a long time in t-shirts, I finally get to take my heavy sweaters and jackets out of the cupboard. The fresh air brushing against my face wakes me up, and I actually want to do things instead of just sitting on the sofa. I’m full of life! When the wind blows hard outside, my favorite thing is to sit on my balcony with a large cup of hot chocolate. I often watch the leaves fall, but I don’t really care about their colors. I just love how the breeze feels.

Mia

I love the autumn breeze. The best part is how it changes the woods near my house. In September, everything turns from green to beautiful reds and yellows. I can spend hours just looking at them. Also, my bedroom gets very warm in the summer, so having that nice cool air coming through the window means I don’t wake up in the middle of the night anymore. Some people love wearing big coats now, but I hate heavy clothes. I usually just wear a light jumper. 

The comfortable nights make autumn my favorite.

Sam

I always look forward to autumn. July and August are so boiling here that you can’t even go for a walk without feeling terrible. I’m always so relieved when those weeks are over! When the nice cool winds arrive, my dad and I take our rackets and hit tennis balls at the park every Sunday morning. We couldn’t do that before because the sun was just too strong. After our game, we sometimes get a coffee to stay warm, but the real reason I love this season is being outside with him without sweating.
