5 Cosy Things to Do On a Rainy Autumn Day
Autumn is in full swing, and so it's only right to assume that the days are now darker, shorter and, undoubtedly, wet. But that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the season, even when the heavens open. So, here are five cosy things you can do on a rainy autumn day...
1. Curl up with a good book
Nothing says cold and wintery like curling up with a good book, a blanket and a hot drink on a sofa with a soft reading light while it throws it down outside. Whether you enjoy fiction or non-fiction, or just love to read magazines or newspapers, there's something lovely and cosy about being inside and relaxing in the warmth, with nothing but the sound of the rain on the windows.
2. Bake something
Baking is a great way to have some delicious treats while warming the house and making it smell absolutely divine. Whatever you bake is your choice, but I love to make oat cookies, Dundee cake, pear and toffee muffins, banana cake and madeira cake, to name a few things. All of those recipes are super quick, simple and delicious. There's nothing like fresh, warm sweet treats on a cold, wet autumn day.
3. Have a movie marathon
Not many people look out of the window and see it tipping it down outside and actually want to leave the house. So what can you do with all of that free time? A movie marathon is just the thing. When it gets to this time of year, we love to watch the Harry Potter movie series, as well as autumn-themed films, like You've Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally.
4. Enjoy a self-care day
When it's cold and wet, it's only naturally to want to get warm and cosy. I like to have a nice hot bath, and just generally pamper myself. I'll do a face mask and a hair mask, as well as give myself a little manicure and a pedicure, best I can. When the heaven's open all day in the autumn, what else is there to do? I can definitely think of worse things!
5. Cook a comforting meal
Nothing says wet, cold and autumn like a tasty dish of hearty comfort food. Think pub grub. Think steak pies, beef casseroles, gammon medallions, creamy mash, steamed vegetables, hot gravy, smooth cauliflower cheese and more! If it's on a roast dinner or a pub lunch menu, then go for it, I say.
