being ab;e to enjoy time after work relaxing in the garden with a good back - feels less like groundhog day with the lighter evenings

My favourite things about summer are the long days to enjoy more of everything. Waking up with the birds at first day light, reading at anytime of the day in natural light, long walks enjoying nature at it's best and enjoying lots of long days sharing with friends and family.
I don't like to complain when we have some of our lovely summers but if it get's too hot where you are unable to do very much then I like that least of all...but I'm not complaining sun, please stay out, lol.

I love the long summer days, its so much easier to get out of bed and make the most of the garden. What I hate is I'm allergic to the sun and so I cover up and stay in the shade as much as possible.

I love to see red kites soaring high above our garden but loathe the flying ants which emerge around teatime in August.
