My favourite thing about summer is the really long, light days we get - so much more time in the day to do things, and the light and sunshine make me feel so much happier and more optimistic than the dark days of winter which can be quite depressing

my favorite thing about summer is being able to put the washing out and getting it dry before it rains, and knowing even if it rains it will dry again quite quickly!

The best things about summer are being able to get out in the garden without getting wet! Watching the plants grow whilst being visited by all kinds of bees & butterflies. Sitting in the sun and enjoying the view and a glass of something!

Warmer weather - I hope, BBQ's with friends and family and enjoying all the hard work put into the garden.

My favourite thing about summer is the annual hope that the sun will shine and I will be able to wear all my new sandals, that I keep buying and never wearing because its never sunny enough! I also love having lunch in the garden and going on holiday.

Breathing the in summer fragrances, roses, jasmine, honeysuckle to name a few

Wow - what a prize. I thrive in the summer, I suffer from SAD during the winter months and this impacts on my family and friends. So I love the summer heat, and can feel my spirits rising when the days get longer and warmer.

Freshly cut grass.

sunshine and a good book

I like the warm days. Long light nights. Having a BBQ with my parents. Being in the garden with their cat.

Just to be able to go outside and enjoy the warmth, beautiful flowers and good company. Ideal, if it would only stop raining long enough for me to enjoy those things that I love.

I love just sitting in the garden watching the birds flying about and feeding their little ones.

The lovely long evenings.

Warmer weather, lighter nights, a good book and a glass of wine.

Warmth, the smell of flowers, laughter in the garden, the song of birds and light evenings to relax in the garden after work.

days out either at the coast or i love to head off into the country for long walks with the family

Wimbledon, strawberries and cream, and a good book when they get rained off.

My favourite thing about the summer is the start of the football season

Mine is the beer gardens hick hic!

I love the long summer nights, I go to bed early to read because I have a degenerated spine. The smell of new mown grass is lovely and the flowers in our garden all come to life giving a lovely display and a beautiful scent.

The chance to dream , put my feet up with a cuppa and a book . Oh the joy of being retired

My favourite thing about summer is the sunshine - when we actually see it! :-)

Best thing about summer is feeling the warmth of the sun on me while I potter in the garden - taking frequent tea breaks when I sit in the deckchair and read another chapter of my book!

My favourite thing about summer is just spending more time outdoors. Sitting in the garden just listening to the wildlife and watching my cats chasing flies...... and of course, relaxing in the sun with a good book.

Although my weekdays are filled with work, I long for the weekends: Long, lazy sunny days, sat in the garden with a good book, a cup of tea and a nice piece of cake (chocolate of course !!)
