Corner view: September in the UK

Corner View is back after our summer break! The very timely topic this week is September.

For me, September has always meant a new beginning. It's of course, the back to school feeling. After a summer of fun, I was always more or less ready to go home, to see my friends, to get back into a routine, and yes, even to go back to school. Because the new school year was full of possibilities, of new things to learn, of new ways of doing things.

It's funny, I had that same feeling at the end of my year travelling last December. After an amazing time, I was ready to come back and create new routines and a new life with the boyfriend. This year has been difficult, but we're getting to the place that we imagined at the beginning of the year. A place where we want to stay for a while. Everything we've done this year (and before) has brought us here. To this September. And, once again, September has brought with it exciting opportunities and new beginnings.

I'll tell you all about the details of our new beginnings soon. In the meantime, I leave you with these September photos that I snapped last week in a visit to my friends in Chichester, in Surrey, England. It was my first time in the area, and it's so beautiful, I can't believe I never knew.

  5. I used to have that same "ready for school" feeling at the beginning of September precisely because the new school year meant learning all kinds of new things and that was always exciting. Love your pictures!

  7. Wish you a beautiful and full of red berries beginning.
    Beginnings are always difficult, but when the word beginning looses that weight all is easier.

  17. Ok, comments about "bearing fruit" and "harvesting" are coming to mind. I blame that on your beautifully vivid photographs! I'm feeling so Septemberish, too. It feels most like a new beginning; even more so than January.

  20. I loved Surrey the only time I was there many years ago. It's surreal, which plays very well with its name. I remember seeing the vast fields stretching in front of me and going: Wow! This is that classical image of England most people have. Chichester, I have not visited, so thanks a lot for those fantastic images.

    Chao.

  32. Mmmm...I want to eat those berries. Your post brought back some feelings that tend to stir in me during fall. How I miss days when I could just enjoy the colors and feelings fall would produce. Now, I have to actually schedule it in if I want time to do that. *sigh*
