🤣🤣🤣 I’m with you all the way BlueBelle, can’t get too hot for me, as you very well know!

I don't know if it's my imagination but winter seemed to go on for too long. I could not get warm and felt miserable. Now that the sun is here, I feel so much happier. So yes, I'm with you all the way BB...sun, sun, sun...please stay 🌞

I do like the Summer although I can't tolerate the heat so much anymore. It's been lovely getting out the summer dresses and sandals, and going out without reaching for a jacket or waterproof.

That doesn't mean I want to live in a furnace though, I need to be cool to sleep. We sat in the garden this morning drinking our coffee and playing scrabble and it was bliss. We've noticed the birds have far more sense than humans - when it's baking hot the feeders are empty and the birds all reappear later in the day. A family of blue tits bathing in the water dish today.

I love it sunshinesmile

Love, love, love these hot summer days! Suffer 8 months of winter with Reynaud's - any temperature below 18C is dreadful with blue nails, freezing feet et al. Wonderful to feel warm all over. Bring on the heatwaves!

I do like being able to wear nice summer clothes, even if I'm only wearing them at home. Over the last few years I collected some really nice, colourful dresses and I always look forward to being able to wear them again. And I just like being able to go out without a coat.

I’m with you as well. Enjoy it while we can.

I adore the sun (responsibly) love the heat, I am a summer baby, summer is my happy place.

It makes me so happy, I’m wearing shorts and a linen top, it’s so nice to enjoy summer clothes.

I got up at 6 am and worked until 11.00, I then had a lovely shower and have been pottering all afternoon.

We had ice cold lagers at 6 and ate supper in the garden…..bliss.

I am absolutely loving this gorgeous weather. Admittedly I can’t tolerate sitting in direct sunshine any more due to health problems and the humidity affects my breathing but I hate the winter months and spend every single spare minute enjoying my garden and making the most of the sunshine.

I’m with you too, have just on the other thread BlueBelle! We get little enough sunshine here in Yorkshire and while I maybe don’t tolerate it as well as I did in my younger days neither can I bear to shut it out!

I love the sun, and I’m enjoying the beautiful weather. It’s very humid here today though, I’m looking forward to a slightly fresher breeze tomorrow.

I enjoy early and late dog walking, pleasantly warm - no sun on skin.
