autumnal
…………………….
with each new season, i like to make myself a list of things to do, to eat, to see and to experience. since today is the first day of autumn, i’m sharing my list for the next couple of months.
+ more black and white photography
+ join the scotch malt whisky society
+ dana lee FW10
+ early morning baking: sweet potato poundcake
+ a new pair of boots (maybe these?)
+ find the perfect white buttondown oxford shirt
+ john pawson at the design museum
+ montgomery cheddar and apples
+ anchor & hope
+ double tide at the BFI film festival
+ welsh rarebit and ale for dinner
+ sweaters with elbow patches
+ weekend roasts from Rôtis by Stéphane Reynaud
+ hunting for vintage ercol for my flat
+ old wool blankets from labour & wait
+ lots of raymond carver
+ a taste test of english ciders (and i’m not talking about magner’s)
+ le labo pin 12
+ new flannel sheets
+ ginger syrup
i hope you plan on getting up to something good this autumn, too. cheers.
welcome autumn. i’m with you on many of those!
Oh! Definitely join the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. My friends, who lived in Edinburgh, were members. I got to visit one of the locations there on a visit. It was just spectacular. Totally up your alley.
elbow patches, ercol furniture and the sweet potato pound cake need to be moved to the top of the list.
nice ones, b.
Scotch Malt Whisky Society…hilarious, you must be psychic or something! Gemma and I were just saying how we’d love to take you there as she used to have the use of a corporate membership from work…you would 100% love the one down in Leith, neither of us drink the stuff as you know but we’ve often thought about membership anyway!
Happy Autumn Brian
You won’t find this anywhere – http://www.smws.co.uk/whisky5
Remember to post some pics if you join!
ohhh welsh rarebit – you do make me feel so homesick at times! Joining the SMWS is a must..a perfect segue to the colder seasons..you might have some luck finding some ercol here – http://thepeanutvendor.co.uk/
Hi Brian,
my wife and I have been following your blog for a while now, with great pleasure. I love your low-key, unassuming style of photography. After moving to the Swedish countryside, I got inspired to end my own 5 year pause from film photography and looking at your pictures gave me the final push to buy some film and dust of the old Nikkormat. My wife posted some of my pics on our garden blog at:

The leaves are just starting to fall outside the window, and I’m very much looking forward to your pictures over the coming months. Thanks!
Ginger syrup? Sounds delish. Happy autumn!
Can’t beat a good glass of Chiddingstone Medium Dry cider. I may be biased though as it used to made on my Dad’s farm. Super tasty though!
I’ve discovered that the best time to get to the Anchor and Hope is just as they open…otherwise, impossible. Have therefore never made it…sigh.
Autumn seems to be delayed today though; it’s so lovely and warm!
Great list and not just the usual. Enjoy your Autumn
sounds like your in for a nice autumn!
great list, b. i think i’ll need one of these for myself.
raymond carver is on my autumn list as well! i can’t believe it has taken me so long to read him, but this summer i read a story by him and it hit me so hard how rural northwest it was–like scenes from a far-off memory–that i made it my goal to read more and more of him in the next few months.
my kind of autumn. to get you started:

Raymond Carver = amazing.
I recommend, “A Small, Good Thing”.
Funny that you are talking about Jody Rognac (Dana Lee)… He is one of the photographer that we commissioned for our next issue of Under The Influence.
PS: I like your list.
I recommend the Middle Farm Apple Festival for a wonderful array of ciders & dancing amongst hay bales.

Oh John Pawson, I have to go. Have not been paying attention to what’s going on in London, thanks for the tip.
what a list! i saw a guy at the farmer’s market last week who had a cardigan with elbow patches. it always reminds me of stephanie cb. you’ve totally inspired me; i’m getting excited about autumn.
Sounds like you have some fantastic autumn plans! I love sweaters with elbow patches. Gorgeous!
