Best thing about summer is be able to eat outside, hanging washing on the line and gardening
Worst thing about summer is the heat at night and not being able to sleep

Fave thing, light nights and bright days, even when it rains.

Least fave thing. High pollen!

I love the flowers and greenery that blooms through summer. Also listening to birdsong during the evenings outside..

I'm not so fond of the mosquitoes and flies buzzing around, plus the amount of fur my long-hair black kitty sheds onto the cream carpet!

My favourite thing is being able to sit outside reading a good book and feeling the sun on me. My least favourite is having to work when it’s hot.

My favourite thing is being outdoors with the children, my least is the hayfever :-(
Wow, that list of books looks amazing!!

My favourite thing about summer is being able to sit by the nearby lake reading my latest book purchase.
My least favourite thing about summer is when it rains.

Best thing is sitting in the garden, with a book and a glass of wine.
Worst is the constant weeding and lawn mowing.

Love: long hot summer days and warm lazy evenings.
Hate: Wasps and flies.

Grabbing the opportunity to dine outside and to enjoy evenings sat in the garden siping a gin or two with family members and friends.

Best thing: the increased probability of some warmth & sunshine (I live in Scotland!). Worst thing: not getting to bed before the chickens have decided to roost (light until v late here).

Best thing: Lots more daylight in which to enjoy outings to new as well as familiar places in the company of friends and family.
Worst thing:the slugs and snails eating all my most cherished plants in the garden!

The best thing is watching the barges chugging along the canal and seeing the kingfishers swooping down with a flash of beautiful colour.
The worst is the heat!

The best thing is that it’s light for so many hours, lovely for just wandering around or sitting in the garden. The worst thing is too many wasps, who can sense my fear,

Worse is hayfever, seeing loved ones suffering, especially this year
Best, is the long days of light, makes such a difference (and makes reading books in the garden so nice!)

Thanos for your super comp, some great reads

The most blissful aspect of summer to me is the warmth of the days, the long nights, and the pleasure of spending time with my family with all of us feeling relaxed and happy - look how many smiling faces you see when the sun shines and its ice cream weather - what is there not to like about enjoying an ice cream with your family amongst the cheerful blaze of summer flowers and the happy chit chatter of the birds.
The worst aspect of summer is the when the nights are so humid it is difficult to sleep despite turning, tossing the covers off, pulling them on again, feeling even more grumpy as my cotton pyjamas moisten with sticky sweat - falling asleep eventually stiff and miserable - and waking up feeling pretty similar until I've enjoyed a refreshing shower.
Bring on the summer!

Being a chilly mortal, I love the heat of the sun, but I don't like going to bed when it's still light outside.

Sitting in the garden with a drink and a good book, and the worst birds dive bombing on my washing drying on the line

Best in Summer being able to go outside without having to put loads of clothes on, just go out.
Least favourite when there are crowds everywhere, waiting for transport etc.and ice cream queues!

Best thing is time spent in the fresh air, just simple things like a glass of wine in the garden, sunny dog walks and feeling the sun on your face. Worst thing is having to work in a poorly ventilated office on hot days.

For me the favourite bit about summer is longer days which seem to boost my energy levels. My least favourite is having to work inside when I am desperate to spend time reading in the warmth of the summer sun!

Best is swimming.....in the sea or pool.

Worst is.......having to get out (of sea or pool)!

I love the warmth of the sun on my skin - when it deigns to appear but hate the nights as I find it hard to sleep when it is so light, just waking up for a wee makes me think it is time to get up and I don't sleep well at the best of times.

Most favorite - long evenings, though I miss the velvet dark nights of my tropical childnood.
Least favorite - mosquitos.

My favorite thing is not having to watch the clock constantly,the children are at home so if it's a sunny day we can truly make the most of it and stay outside all day if we want to and holiday time is approaching!
The worst thing is realising that the nights are starting to close in and long bright days will soon be getting shorter!

I love being warm but most of all the light in summer makes me feel great. All that sunshine and long days! My least favourite thing is being bitten by the insects who seem to send out an all-points-alert when I appear outside.
