I love summer..

Being able to sit in my back garden with a coffee in my hand

Washing flapping in the sunshine.

No thermal vests

Just being warm

I love just love waking up every morning at age 82, hail, rain or shine

Wearing sandals! Entertaining, with eating & cuppas outside. Visiting gardens. Planting & growing in our garden. Seeing the birds & their young. Just the joy of nature....

With you on all the above, Sago.

Sitting 'reading' with DH in the afternoons under the sun-umbrella; later on watching moon-rise with DH.

Washing my feet at the end of the day and rubbing in lavender cream to ensure good sleep.

*so often this reading involves one of us having eyes shut and mouth open ...

Everything about summer. The colours of the flowers and grasses. Warmth. Putting my boots away. Fresh fruit and veggies. Walks by the river.

Everyone seems happier in summer.

My Summer birthday!

I love all of the above,especially storing away all those winter clothes. Although I used to be able to sit in the sun for hours,now I find it not so bearable after a while.

Just feeling alive! During the cold, dark winter months I feel like hibernating. The sight of the flowers coming alive, the sound of children enjoying the warm summer evenings, everything about Summer appeals to me. Maybe because I was born smack bang in the middle of it!!

General feeling of intense wellbeing from morning until night. Quite wonderful. The hotter the better. I'd rather wilt than stiffen.

Love ❤️ that Kim19 you win the phrase of the day award!

As above, and the baby starlings being taught to bathe in the bird bath. Very noisy and entertaining!

I love everything about summer - except pesky hay fever. Seriously I do love it, being outside, going to the beach without a coat, walking by the river, tending the garden, the flowers, a garden full of dragonflies and yes, the washing drying on the line.

Summer as just arrived in S Yorks as its been gloom all week. I could see people perking up around me this afternoon when I popped out.

Nice lists. I might even wear a frock tomorrow.

With the 4 grandchildren 11 and under the sun makes the weekend so much easier.

1. Get very big inflatable/supported pool out
2. fill it with water
3. Add mini slides, buckets, ducks etc.

Sorted. One grandchild has severe disabilities including hardly being able to see or move a lot. But touch...water....thats 3 hours + taken care of.

Ohhhh I love summer I can’t wait for it to begin (hint hint) The warmth, the flowers, trees, the sea, the beach, kids playing and laughing, feeling warmth in my bones, the light nights, wearing less clothes, the freedom, the garden, the bees, birds, the butterflies ohh I love it so much I really think my mum and dad were in the wrong country when they had me I wasn’t made for this often miserably cold, grey, climate

All the things already mentioned.

Washing on the line
Birds tweeting
colourful flowers
having bare legs
sitting outside
picnics

Oops..phrased that wrong🤔 me wearing less clothes not the children!!!

I love the sunshine, the warmth,brightness and the way people smile more, love to see children playing on the beach, wearing less clothes, less heating bills!!
The lush gardens and parks, everything about blue skies and warm days make me feel happier.

I love the sunshine, flowers, light mornings and evenings and all the rest but most of all I think I appreciate being able to go out without boots, thermal tights or leggings, thick jackets, scarves, gloves and all the other paraphernalia to do with cold and wet weather.

I love the smell of the flowers and the greenness of the trees. I eat a lot of salads and no heating so energy bills are much lower. No de-icing the car in the mornings.

All of it 😄
Main things tho are warmth to be outside and wearing Summer clothes, sitting in our yard with a glass of wine or a beer chatting or reading, drying washing on an airer in the sun, having salads for meals which means no cooking.

All of it, but particularly the long light evenings. I’m still waiting for some decent temperatures though.

I like the early summer where everything is bright green and growing enthusiastically. The sun is high and doesn’t show my lack of dusting 🤣🤣🤣

It was so nice to travel north to the warm weather. Bright blue skies, turquoise sea and sun sun sun. It cheers you up. Back now to the cooler south but at least we got sun today which was good. Mind you, it is winter for us. I don’t like the really hot weather but it is perfect here in Spring and Autumn.

I love everything about Summer. When the weather warms up, days get longer, the garden comes to life, I feel an energy and optimism that is lacking when it’s cold and grey. No need for central heating, washing gets dry outside so no need for tumble dryer, a respite from heavy energy bills!! I can’t think of one negative thing about summer apart from it being over too soon.
