Autumn days when the grass is jewelled......

Autumn is my favourite season!!!
I love the beautiful colours of the leaves, the cosy evenings by the roaring log fire...The promise of Santa coming down the chimney soon, Chestnuts roasting...Okay, i've gone off in my dreams again...But the first line is true!
Whenever i think of the seasons i'm always taken back to Primary School and a song we used to sing called Autumn Days. I have such fond memories of that school. When i sing this song it always makes me smile and i'm taken back to Westlands Primary
The School Dinners!!! I remember the cooks dumping instant mash onto the tray with an icecream scoop and it always made me gag!!
Our Headmaster who was probably only about fifty, but we thought was as old as the hills!!
Mr Pumphrey with his wooden block. Mrs Moore and The Grand National maths tests and her partner in crime Mrs Smith, who this song particulary reminds me of because she conducted the choir.

Autumn Days Lyrics

Autumn days, when the grass is jewelled
And the silk inside a chestnut shell
Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled
All these things I love so well

So I mustn’t forget
No, I mustn’t forget
To say a great big thank you
I mustn’t forget.

Clouds that look like familiar faces
And a winter’s moon with frosted rings
Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces
And the song the milkman sings.

So I mustn’t forget
No, I mustn’t forget
To say a great big thank you
I mustn’t forget.

Whipped-up spray that is rainbow-scattered
And a swallow curving in the sky
Shoes so comfy though they’re worn out and they’re battered
And the taste of apple pie.

So I mustn’t forget
No, I mustn’t forget
To say a great big thank you
I mustn’t forget.

Scent of gardens when the rain’s been falling
And a minnow darting down a stream
Picked-up engine that’s been stuttering and stalling
And a win for my home team.

So I mustn’t forget
No, I mustn’t forget
To say a great big thank you
I mustn’t forget.
