- Salimat Oluwakemi Garba
Sometimes, it’s not about what’s good or bad, sweet or sour, mild or strong – it’s about who you ask, and how they see it. One person sees a 6, another sees a 9. What one finds unbearable, someone else calls beautiful. The seasons of the year are no exception.
For instance, Autumn is my most dreaded season. As the lights fade and grey skies settle in, I can feel my mood start to dip. If I had a remote to control the climate, I would fast-forward right through it. But as the saying goes, “One man’s food is another man’s poison.” For someone else, Autumn is the best time of the year.
Seasons aren’t just shifts in weather – they’re rhythms that shape our lives. Wanting to hear how others relate to them, I took to the streets of Nottingham with a simple question:
What’s your favourite season of the year and why?
One woman told me she loves winter fashion, but not the heating bills. Another said Autumn is her favourite because of Halloween and Bonfire Night, two moments that bring warmth and celebration to colder days. And the others? Well, take a listen for yourself:
In conclusion, seasons come and go, but the ones we love linger in memory – etched in scents, colours, and feelings we carry year after year. Whether it’s the golden hush of autumn, the bloom of spring, the sparkle of winter, or the fire of summer, our favourite season often whispers something about who we are.
So as the year turns, ask yourself: Which season feels like home to you?
For me, summer feels like home! Coming from a tropical country, its warmth and rhythm feel most familiar, most alive.
But that’s me. Now I would love to hear from you.
What’s your season and why?
