Autumn is the time of year that means home to me the most. Having lived in America most of my life I have always seen the significance in this season. It means cool crisp air and warm aromatic drinks. It means wood burning fire places and beautiful vivid colours. It means the excitement of change and family filled holidays around the corner. It means home for me. Being away from the States during this time of year I find especially hard. I love Scotland but I do feel like Autumn does not mean the same thing here as it does in America. Christmas stuff has already taken the place of all Autumnal decorations and the delicious candles that populate all American stores are sadly passed over for the more Christmasy scents here. I am completely speaking on my experience in Dundee since it is all I have known here, so sorry if I am misjudging a bit. Regardless I am in desperate need of the American excitement and enthusiasm felt when Summer changes into Autumn.
I have found a few comfort items that have helped me to not feel too homesick during my favourite season.
1. Lush Pumpkin Bubble Bar
2. Pumpkins in general (for decorations or eating)
3. Fall scented candles (although I have struggled to find them)
4. Red Wine
