I love summer..

Cow Parsley in the hedgerows, May Blossom as it reminds me of childhood. Light nights. Walking around the house barefoot. Visiting old properties with beautiful rose gardens. English Strawberries (with clotted cream). Bliss.

Brightness instead of darkness. Our garden and all its colour. Sitting outside somewhere with a drink. Walking around National Trust gardens. Strawberries and lovely fruit and salads. I'm not keen on summer clothes as I'm best covered up these days but I'll cope!

Lovely long summer evenings, glorious sunsets, the lush greenery of the trees, birdsong, warmth and relative ease of movement.

And the roses!!! So beautiful this year.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

All the things already mentioned.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!!

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.

My Summer birthday!
