Summer breeze – the best of summer

We’re nearly into official summer season but with the weather in the UK last week, it’s felt like we’ve had a bit of summer already.

Summer isn’t my favourite season, it’s hot and sweaty, too many layers need to come off, it’s hard to sleep when it’s too hot, and you don’t want to be in work when outside looks like beautiful weather.  But there are some good points, and following on from my Autumn, Winter and Spring posts, I’ll finish off with summer and what makes it great.

  1. I think summer is over! Well it hasn’t felt like it today. My favourite things about summer are beach trips, fish & chips, picnics in the park, BBQs and gatherings will all the kids playing, sitting outside in the evening, seeing the garden in bloom and smelling the jasmine brands outside the back doors, not having to bundle coats and layers on to leave the house and being able to base outings around somewhere outdoorsy as my toddler just loves to run!

  2. What a great list. Being able to leave the coats at home is a big one for me, and we’ve had salads for the last couple of nights running. I love how you added in moaning about the heat

    1. Our office is the worst – no-one person is ever happy – the air conditioning is bliss for me, but others get too cold. But I guess we have similar issues with the heating in winter!

    1. Thanks Kim. Yes, definitely not a fan of heat – early 20s works for me – warm but so I can still get out and about without feeling uncomfortably hot.
