After a long and wonderful summer, it's time for the most photogenic season of the year. 9 things to do in autumn: from a full day trip to a short activity. Have fun!
01. Go for a walk in the forest
The absolute number 1: put on warm clothes and go for a walk in the woods. Collect acorns, chestnuts, beechnuts and leaves and make creative decorations out of them.
Â
02. Create your own home cinema
It’s cold, dark and probably raining. The plan? Grab a blanket, make a hot cup of chocolate, close the curtains and light a few scented candles. Share the snacks round and you’ve got the perfect movie night in.
Â
03. Make an autumn wreath for the door
We are all familiar with Christmas wreaths. But have you ever made a fall wreath? Tip: if you use a willow wreath for the base, you can reuse it every year. Don’t feel like getting creative? Most garden centers also have ready-made autumn wreaths.
Â
04. Make a campfire in the garden
Aren't the early evenings too cold yet? Then it’s wonderful to sit outside by a warm campfire.
05. Making soup
Cold and rainy outside? Yes! Time to cook a big pot of soup. Perfectly suitable for the season and delicious to eat: pumpkin soup.
Â
06. Bake a cake
Relaxing to do, with the additional bonus that it will make your house smell wonderful: baking cakes! Choose a recipe with lots of spices such as cinnamon for the ultimate autumn feeling.

07. Host a dinner party
The end of the year should be celebrated with lots of parties. A breakfast with bubbles or a spectacular 5-course dinner? Every meal gets an upgrade from a festively set table.
Â
08. Beautiful pictures
The forest is at its best in the fall. Go out and take pictures of the beautiful nature.
09. Visit a light festival
Many large cities celebrate the dark days with a light festival. Wherever you're from, there's probably a light festival near you. Watch twinkling lights with a warm glass of Mulled wine or chocolate milk in your hands.
Lots of love, Pip
