As the leaves begin to change colour and the evenings draw in, autumn brings plenty of little moments worth sharing. From crisp morning walks to cosy afternoons indoors, it's a lovely time of year to reflect on the things we enjoy about the changing seasons.
Sometimes, sitting down to write a letter can feel a little daunting when you're not sure where to begin. So, we've put together a few autumn-inspired prompts to help get your ideas flowing!
Here are a few things you could write about in your next letter:
Your favourite autumn tradition: Is there something you look forward to every year? Perhaps a countryside walk, visiting a pumpkin patch or enjoying a Sunday roast.
A favourite autumn memory: Think back to a memorable autumn day. What happened, and why has it stayed with you?
Cosy afternoons: What does your perfect autumn afternoon look like? A good book, or a favourite film?
Seasonal favourites: What's your favourite autumn food or drink? Do you have a recipe you enjoy making when the weather gets colder?
The changing seasons: What does autumn look like where you live? Tell us about the changing leaves, frosty mornings or the first signs of winter.
Little things that make you smile: Is there something about this time of year that always lifts your spirits?
It's the little things that count!
Your letters don't need to be full of exciting news or extraordinary stories. Sharing a little about your everyday life, a favourite memory or something that made you smile can mean so much to someone facing cancer.
So, make yourself a cup of tea, find a comfortable spot and put pen to paper. You never know just how much a few kind words might brighten someone's day.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to write and send us letters. Every single one makes a difference.
