What isn’t there to love about autumn? Cooler weather, stunning natural scenery, cozy evenings spent inside with friends and family . . . there’s lots to do and plenty to enjoy.
So for this month, we’ve teamed up with the folks at bgo.com to bring you a list of the 8 must-do activities for the coming season. From catching up on reading, to trying out new hobbies, to enjoying some time in nature, we’re sure you’ll want to try out at least a few. Read on!
- Try out a new recipe
Surely you’ve got a recipe that you’ve been meaning to try out for a while? Whether it’s something baked, a restaurant dish you’ve been meaning to replicate, or a favourite dish you haven’t cooked in a while, autumn weather is perfect for creating and enjoying a home-cooked meal.
- Test your skills with a new hobby
If you’ve run out of fresh ideas on how to spend your free time, it might be time to give a new hobby a go. From photography, to painting, to taking up a new sport, try challenging yourself with something you’ve never tried before. You might be pleasantly surprised as you discover hidden talents!
- Catch up on your reading list
Rainy weather is the perfect opportunity to catch up on that novel that’s been on your reading list all summer. Take some time to tune out of all social media, turn your phone off, and lose yourself in a good story to unwind.
- Go on a hike
Cooler weather is a great chance to spend some time in nature. Plus, you get to take in the wonderful autumn colours and scenery. Check your local area for well-marked hiking and trail paths or join a group that organises hikes.
- Organise a Game Night
Game nights are a great way to bring family and friends together, can be adapted to suit all ages, and provide hours of entertainment. Bring out Monopoly and Scrabble with family, or go with a Poker game with friends for some great fun at no cost (unless you count the snacks of course)!
- Settle for a movie night in
Book an evening off, prepare the popcorn and settle in with family and friends to watch (or re-watch) a film. We recommend deciding on which film to watch beforehand to make sure everyone is happy with the final pick.
- Try your luck at an online casino
Not able to make it to a brick-and-mortar casino? Luckily, online casinos are a super accessible way of enjoying a playing session in the convenience of your own home! From slots, to live table games, to bingo, most online casinos have plenty to offer. If you’d like a recommendation, we suggest giving the games at bgo.com a go.
- Buy a video game console
With so many games on offer, there’s something to suit all tastes. From action to strategy, to adventure, great games can provide hours of immersive fun. Make sure to do your research on the best video game console for your preferred type of games before purchasing.
