The weather has been generally lovely the past two weeks, but you can definitely feel that autumn is in the air in Stockholm. It is darker in the evenings, the clothing on sale in the shops is in autumn shades and cosy styles – burgundy, brown, beige, deep greens. Pumpkin, spice and cinnamon drinks are appearing everywhere. A bit early if you ask me, but I had to wear a jumper/jersey/sweater today (above).
I do enjoy nature’s autumn colours, the high sky and the crisp, clear air, but the approaching winter darkness always fills me with dread. I don’t mind the cold or the snow, but the constant darkness from November to February really affects me. Luckily though, in three months I will have a sunny break.
