Autumn is a wonderful time of the year. When the temperature in the air cools slightly and the leaves start to fall, it’s the perfect time to get out and enjoy a magical day of fun with our family.
Today we want to take a look at how you can enjoy the best day out with the ones you love and make the most of the season.
Head out to the countryside
Wake up early and pack up your edmunds car with supplies, and head to a countryside spot for a hike. Hiking during the autumn is always amazing because you won’t overheat but you’ll still enjoy some stunning views and weather. Pack up some boots for walking and make sure you bring a towel with you just in case you get caught out in the rain!
Enjoy a simple lunch
One way to make the most of an autumn day is with a picnic up high on the hills. There are some great sandwich ideas for you to try such as a simple baguette with leerdammer, tomato, and spinach. Pack up your sandwiches, some snacks, and a couple of cake bars for the perfect autumn picnic to keep you going until you get home.
Head for a pint
What could be better than finishing off your day hiking with a trip to a village pub? There are some stunning pubs in countryside locations where you’ll be able to sit out in the beer garden and enjoy a refreshing pint as well as the sunshine. Rest up, relax, and then get ready to set off back home for a relaxing evening with your loved ones.
Have a warm bath
When you get back from a day hiking in the countryside, the best way to relax the body and warm-up has to be with a warming bath. Enjoy your bath with a glass of wine or a hot chocolate and watch some of your favorite shows while you soak the stress away.
Cook a warming roast dinner
Now that you are relaxed and in your comfy clothing for the day, it’s time to take a look at cooking a roast dinner. A beautiful beef joint or a whole chicken can be ideal in the autumn paired with some seasonal veggies such as carrots and parsnips.
Make some mulled wine
Finish off your evening by making the whole house smell like warm spice. This easy recipe is the ideal way to finish an autumn day in style.
