Absolutely love the long daylight evenings. Summer means holidays so more time spent with family and friends. Summer food... Lots of fresh produce and long cool drinks. A garden full of blooming flowers. And my birthday too!

Having time off work is definitely the best thing about summer!

I think perhaps my favourite thing about summer is watching Wimbledon, cheering Andy Murray on, with my feet up on the sofa and a refreshing G&T to hand - bliss....

Enjoying meals al fresco in the garden with family

Great choice of books!! ☀️☀️☀️☀️To read whilst sitting in this glorious sunshine.
Favourite thing about summer is relaxing in my daughters garden reading and listening to the radio

My favourite thing about summer is spending time with my family on trips to the seaside and forgetting the every day for a little while, it's like magic xxx

The best thing about summer is seeing my grandchildren splash about in their paddling pool, while my (adult) sons lounge about in theirs.

I like the long light evenings

Picnics on the beach and the sound of children's laughter.

I enjoy watching all the birds busy in the garden getting on with their lives, making nests ,preparing for their offspring.I love planting seeds and watching them grow into strong ,beautiful plants with lovely flowers-summer best season of all!

I love the sunlight in the bedroom in the morning and the warmth in the evening.Summer fruits are delicious!

Not needing to wear as many clothes, not having to turn on the lights at 2.30pm, not having to put a coat on just to bring in logs and coal, not worrying about the heating bill.

Long light evenings, sitting by the garden pond with a glass of wine and a good book, DBH and I side by side.

Furry lawnmower optional.

My favourite thing about summer?.........the long days.

My favourite things about Summer has to be the lazy afternoons, surrounded by flowers and watching the bumble bees and butterfly dot about, whilst reading a good book with a cool drink. Heaven!

Enjoying coverage of Wimbledon fortnight,including the indulgence of the odd glass of chilled Prosecco with strawberries and cream!

Summer means holidays and time to sit back in the warmth with a cool drink and just READ (and this collection really would mean summer - probably several summers!)

Sand between my toes and a purse for ice cream money.....just for me!

Spending more time with my granddaughters during the school holidays, taking them away to the coast and at the end of a busy day relaxing with a good book

Dappled sunlight in the forest.

Good weather & doing my garden

Sitting outside relaxing with a G&T in one hand and a great read in the other...!

My favourite thing about summer is watching the plants I have grown from seedlings the months before blossom into beautiful flowers, it gives me great satisfaction. Then able to lie in the shade with a good book the fragrances of my lovely blossoms filling the air.

Throughout the summer I enjoy picking, cooking and eating the fresh fruit and vegetables we have grown throughout the year. It's even better if some of our grandchildren are with us because they enjoy the experience as well: "Granny, this is brilliant!"

the grandchildren come and stay. Love seeing them and taking them to places I love, or just the beach. I miss the company of children and sometimes regret moving so far away. But I do get them for a week or two at a time.

the excitement of the summer holidays and spending quality time with the family
