- Looking at all the beautiful gifts nature has bestowed on us. The flowers, now in full bloom, not only do they look gorgeous, some of them have a wonderful scent too
- Good old BBQs, I do love them. It is particularly lovely when there are a load of you getting together enjoying the flavoursome food, and each other’s company.
- The sea. I love swimming in the sea in summer time. A beautiful hot day, lazing on the beach and then cooling off with a refreshing swim.
- Not having to remember a coat! It is great just being able to go out in Β short sleeves without having to worry about getting cold.
- Listening to some great summer tunes! I love music at the best of times but I always feel happy listening to the sounds of summer!
- The light mornings and evenings. I have never been that keen on the dark so having so much daylight really lifts my spirits, especially when I get up nice and early and the sun is already shining brightly.
- People come out of hibernation. There always seems to be more to do in the summer, People feel much more sociable, and get-togethers happen frequently.
See I am not negative all the time!

That’s better gives me a summery feelingπππππ

You poor Scots can’t handle the heat as you don’t get to see much of the sun up there!

I no likey summer.
The growing things are undeniably awesome. The lightning bugs, the longer days, going barefoot — I like all those things, but ugh, summer is my least favorite time of year.
PS: We Midwesterners will stand in snow to bbq, we do not care, lol!

Good for you having BBQs in the snow they are far too underused in this country! Mind you a whiff of sunshine and they are out despite the fact it is pissing down with rain 10 minutes later!

Yes, two summers ago, one of my English friends went on and on about how he never even used his bbq all summer. As an American, this is hard to understand!

I love the summer, as long as I have access to air conditioning. I walk outside for exercise, and the heat/humidity really gets to me. It never used to bother me. Hormones have ruined it for me. Spring/Fall are my very favorite. Nice post. I don’t find you negative at all, Judy. βΊ

Thanks so much Van. I wish we had air conditioning at work at least as it is unbearable! I know I do tend to look at the down side of things a lot! π

I love the way the longer days of summer seem so much less rushed, even though I know by August I’ll be longing for autumn.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
