Ideas For Autumn Activities

It is a great idea to have a bucket list for every season. Writing down your ideas help to focus on activities that matter to you.

Autumn or a sweater weather season gives time to enjoy ourselves in the comfort of our homes or be engaged in outdoor activities. We are lucky that September in Kyiv is a moderately hot month, while October and November show their true autumn color palettes. To make the creation of your list easier, here are our picks of activities for the beginning of the season.

Breakfast with a Twist

Autumn lures you to have a picnic. Yes, you won’t be laying on the ground as you do in summer. But you can always sit on a bench and enjoy a sandwich or a slice of cake with home-brewed coffee. 

What is needed for an autumn breakfast on fresh air?

First and foremost is a good mood and a warm blanket to keep you safe when it is windy or chilly. The next step is to take with you comfort food. As an idea, try this original NY Times recipe for plum torte: https://nyti.ms/2Z9iVhp. It is easy to bake and an ideal match with coffee or tea.
