Hating Spring

@easybee I was wondering how much of a link there might be to when you were born. I was born in high summer ?

I like the hibernation period of winter, dark ouside and cosy inside with knitting on my lap, a film on tv and a large mug of hot tea. Spring wakes me up and naturally draws me outside, to see the newly awakening buds and that the cycle of nature is still turning

Spring awakens the exercise gene in me, it no longer becomes an effort to get my bike ready for a lovely cycle ride along country lanes. I don`t think about the effort in searching out my summer clothes, which were packed away only a few months ago. I wait until I feel as though I want to divest myself of my jumpers and warm tights. It is a natural thing and will happen, I will not need to force it

Very hot summers are the summers that I don`t like, so I carry on getting up early to enjoy the coolest part of the day. All windows will be shuttered to protect the house from the heat, unaturally dark inside, like a cave

Then autumn comes and I prepare to hibernate. I think I am ready for every change of season, in fact I look forward to them, hoping always for a pleasant sunny warm summer but thinking that yet again, the long searing days will happen and my natural cycle will turn upside down as I hide in my cave, to keep cool

I enjoy all the seasons, but I share similar feelings about the advent of summer; long evenings when everyone seems to be going out to interesting events or away for holidays, and clothes which expose more and more of your unlovely features (arms, legs, neck,) as you get older.
I do like winter, I think because I am a winter baby. And I love wearing boots.

What on earth are “cosy days of winter”?! I guess you didn’t grow up without central heating or adequate warm clothes. I absolutely love Spring and the lengthening days, blossoming trees and birds going full blast. But not as much as I love Summer.

Hate being cooped up in Winter, the heating going full blast, dreading a fault with the boiler, the short days. Christmas I find hard.Love spring summer and autumn.

For me Spring is good because it’s he beginning of longer days and better weather but it still feels a long time until we can shake off the dreaded Winter which I loathe with a passion!

I adore summer it’s the time of year when I come alive and feel I have blood in my veins and can get some rays in my cold body Spring is lovely because it’s the fore runner of summer with all the things starting to grow and come to life but pretty though autumn is it’s sad for me because it tells me the longest and most depressing time is beckoning me into it’s cold darkness

I dislike summer intensely.
Spring and autumn are ideal for me.

I love Spring as my DGS2 and DD2 came to stay in our bubble in 2020 so she could go to work as a nurse as childminder was stopped. Spring weather that year was good. DGS2 was almost 2 and I spent hours outdoors with him on long walks locally, throwing stones into rivers, seeing froglets making their way to the pond, being chased by fierce daddy swans from the water's edge, jumping in wet and muddy puddles, learning to use his scooter and balance bike and falling asleep with him sleeping on top of me after lunch. Parks were closed off, all his activities were cancelled but his favourite past time was scooting to a drain halfway down our street and dropping stones into it to plop. He made socially distant friends with the old couple who overlooked the drain and the old man found a football he had from his grandson (now grown up) which he inflated and presented to DGS2. He still plays with it (as does his cousin who is now 8 and plays football in a club 3 times a week). We still wave when we pass their house. That spring has happy memories which I will always associate with the first lockdown. Things were frightening on the news but simplified our lives (DGS2 and I) so we enjoyed the peace and calm of not having to do things and be at a specific place at a certain time. We could do anything, locally, and not hurry just be there in that place throwing stones to plop, watching ducklings and froglets and running away from angry swans. I don't think I will ever forget that spring.

I love spring it’s new life from the dull misery of winter. The birds sitting in the trees and squirrels hovering on the fence. The bulbs flowering the trees coming to life sewing seeds for my garden with a bit of warmth in the air.
I still love my woollens I am delicate skinned and I feel the cold. I have never been a sun worshipper having second degree sunburn years ago not even sunbathing.
When it warms up I wear lighter clothing but it depends on the weather it can be unpredictable.

It's the birdsong that does it for me - just love it when it all starts up again. I wake up every day and look out of my window and there are two wood pigeons billing and cooing on the back fence to the field.

I love Spring and Summer as I feel alive.

I love the start of spring but towards the end, when we have a couple of hot days, I don't as it means the start of summer which I really dislike.

I don’t dislike any of the seasons but I absolutely love winter and all the wind and rain, fabulous…⛈???❄️ I also like early dark nights and don’t like it when the nights start drawing out..

So glad to read about a like minded person Shinamae not many of us around.

I love autumn and winter, loathe summer, would quite like spring if it didn’t herald the dreaded summer.

I like Spring purely because it's the beginning of the gardening season and I love planning my garden and prepping it. However Summer is my least favourite season; I detest being hot and bothered and tend to stay indoors. But Autumn is the best season of them all. Fabulous colours, mellow temperatures, bright clear blue skies and an abundant harvest of fruits to collect for free.

Another lover of spring here for all the reasons already given. New shoots, bright yellow daffodils, warmer weather, lighter evenings and summer coming ever closer. I love summer most of all.

I like the anticipation of the snowdrops, the daffs and the blossom, but not so keen on the anti-histamines!

I love spring too the start of the dawn chorus is an absolute joy sunny long days ahead. Hate winter and having to wear layers of clothing much prefer a t-shirt shorts/skirt and a pair of flip flops

I love Spring too, I find winter so depressing, I love to see the bulbs coming through and the shrubs and trees covered in leaf buds.
My absolute favourite time of year.

I love Spring, it’s my favourite time of the year, it gives me hope.

I LOVE spring and summer always have, always will
i can’t imagine how any one could hate the start, the flowers and trees coming to life, the hope of longer days of brightness and warmth, the beginnings and lthe shine of the future

Absolutely love Spring as it is the harbinger to Summer with which I have a huge love affair. Least favourite is Autumn because, although I find it very beautiful, it is the portal to dreaded Winter which is the absolute pits for me.

Not quite so keen on Spring, but I do like the lighter evenings.

I know where I am with Winter and Summer, but Spring leaves me in a bit of a dither.

I don’t dislike any of the seasons but I absolutely love winter and all the wind and rain, fabulous…⛈???❄️ I also like early dark nights and don’t like it when the nights start drawing out..
