What glorious weather!

The only joy in summer ending is that the Christmas season will begin soon 🎄🎄🎄

Even though I have found the intense heat a trial with a DH with severe respiratory and cardio problems, I have enjoyed the light mornings and evenings. If only we could have those in the winter as well!

I've loved this summer even the hottest of days I've loved, often stayed indoors with curtains and windows shut and a fan cooling the room . I've loved the light and early mornings of knowing it's still going to be warm and sunny .
I have a conservatory south facing and it's been like an oven in there , often sucking the heat into the lounge unless I shut the indoor doors .

In East Yorkshire we have not had hardly any rain since March. Our back garden grass is like straw.

I too am thrilled, in the park opposite to us trees are losing their leaves due to drought stress, and wildlife will suffer due to the natural cycle being out of sync this year. Am really praying for heavy sustained rainfall to ease the problem.
In our neck of the woods in the SE there has been hardly any rain since March, and sustained hotter than average temps.
Also thank God I can sleep and my OH whom I care for can sleep too.

It would be good if it stayed warm, not hot, and dry for the Bank Holiday - it can rain overnight.

It's drizzling this morning, just slightly, not enough to water the garden.

I am another delighting in the cooler weather. I went picking blackberries yesterday in the lane close to our house. There are only three houses up there and a BT “ hut” that is rarely used. The weather was perfect: cool breeze and sunny skies with red kites circling overhead. I love their cries. Perfect!

I don’t think we’ve had the scorching days GNs further South have often reported and there was a day of drizzle yesterday and a much lower temperature. When I took Little Dog out, I got cold and damp and even contemplated knocking on the heating when I got home in the dark at 9pm.
Don’t mind Autumn, but hate the long Winter months here in the North East, when it’s dark half the day.

It has been a roller coaster last few months. Spring was pretty cold as was early summer. Then blistering heat. And now thick cloud bere and a bit grey. I expect it will cheer up later.

Please can we have normal seasons again. I got my winter dressing gown out a couple of weeks ago when the morning was really chilly. It's back in its bag again at the bottom of the wardrobe. But close to hand.

M0nica - I feel the same excitement as you. My favourite season Autumn is on it's way and the nights are drawing in. The moaning sun worshippers will be all complaining though and forgetting the six months of above average temperatures we have experienced.

I prefer cooler weather too but a little more sunshine would be welcome. It's been cloudy here over last few days.
The heat makes me very listless and aggravates my sore hip so not sorry it's gone and getting nearer to autumn, my favourite season.
