Best summer reads 2015 - win £500 of books!

love being abe to go parks beaches and days out with my cjhildren xx

This is a fantastic collection of books, thank you.

I love summer - just being able to get out and about with my kids and not needing to put so many layers of clothes on!!

We love to get out to the park and the seaside.

It's those long sunny days. Although wearing light clothing comes a strong second.

I love having picnics in the park!

Definitely the lighter nights and lots of ice cream

I love having dinner outside on our patio and sitting around afterwards just chatting and joking with the family

The best thing about summer is waking up in the morning naturally to the sun shining through your window. It's such an uplifting feeling!

I love having barbecues with the entire family and extended family. It's brilliant. Thank you.

relaxed lazy reading on a beach

The summer is a time for being outdoors, meeting friends and enjoying longer days in (hopefully) sunshine. I love summer!

I like being able to go bare legged and bare armed for most, if not all, of the day!

I love the way everyone smiles a lot more and generally seem happier when the sun is shining.

Going to the local farm with the children to Pick your own strawberries ( a lot get eaten before we even get to weigh/ buy them!

Spending time in the garden

It has to be the sun as it seems to put everyone in a good mood and leads to better things. People are more able to find the best in someone which causes them to find the good aura.

Long warm days, flowers in blossom and taking the dog for long walks

warm sunshine and bright light and clear blue sky

Favourite thing about summer - the smell of freshly cut grass!

Life seems to be SO much busier now than even when I was a young parent & a real summer treat to me is having a holiday where you can spend hours a day just reading & totally getting into a book as opposed to starting a book at home with good intentions & finding that you can't actually even remember who the characters are because it has been so long since you actually read more than a page & it has become so disjointed!

waking up and realising that I have the whole day to fill with what I want to do! (I'm a busy special needs teacher!)

Long days,

What I like about summer is not having to worry about heating bills and having the extra daylight hours

I look forward to the rain so I can stay inside and read

Love going camping with the family in the New Forest...fresh air, outdoors and sunshine. Heaven on earth!

The long light evenings when I can potter in the garden without having to worry about getting sunburnt
