I love splashing around in the sea with our grandsons if we get the chance. I feel the worst thing is feeling great pity for those unfortunate people who get just that one week's holiday away, and find it rains most days. That, and flies forever finding a way into the kitchen and driving me mad.

Favourite: warmth, sunlight and free vitamin D
Least favourite: wasps

I love the light evenings & spending time in the gardens.
I dislike all the weeds that grow in the garden!!

Love the long warm evenings but hate all these biting insects which seem to love me

Like: Feeling the sun on my bare arms

Dislike: Mosquitoes ...they love me though!

Favourite thing is having extra time to spend with family and enjoy picnics and trips away

Least favourite is the pressure parent/ grandparents can find themselves under financially to provide things to do for kids in the summer hols

Love walking the dogs early mornings or evenings when the heat of the day is not so intense.
Hate having to keep cutting the grass as it grows so much quicker in the summer.

The best thing about summer, apart from loving the gardening, is the fact that it makes everyone slow down and relax, and we all enjoy sitting outside restaurants and pubs.

The worst thing about summer for me, is the hot nights, trying to sleep.

I love the warmth of the summer sun on my body.

I hate the cold winter wind blowing on me.

The beautiful sun and the cold winter rain.

These are my most least and favourite things.

I love sitting in the garden in the the fresh air reading a good book, worst thing is the humidity, as if the menopause is not bad enough.....

Favourite is breakfast in the garden with the early birds before work.
Worst are the incessant weekend bonfires (not BBQs, which I love!).

Best thing about summer is the warm weather, the worst is having to work for most of it!

getting to the beach late evening time with the family is the best bit and the worst must be insects, ( although i love bees and butterfly's)

The light late evenings, lovely for sitting in the garden, with a book, and a glass of wine.
But hate getting bitten by gnats, they really spoil my summer.

being able to enjoy some nice warm dry weather, leaving the heating off & drying washing outside, the downside is the traffic jams!

favourite thing is the long evenings, least favourite thing is the wasps and flying creatures!

favorite - being able to spend more time outside

least favorite - talking about how hot it is when in the winter we talked about how cold it was

I love that we can spend so much more time outdoors but I don't like hot sticky nights when I can't sleep.

My favourite thing about Summer is the long days and the sunshine. My least favourite thing is when the nights are hot and sticky and I can't sleep.

I love summer because I love going out in the garden and countryside to see what has changed from day to day and picking fresh flowers, fruit and vegetables. I love picnics and eating outside but

I don't enjoy BBQ food in the summer. I really don't see the point when the meat can be cooked so much better in the kitchen.

I love the long warm evenings. I hate the high pollen count.

Having to work when its gorgeous weather outside!!

too warm at nightime so sleep is affected

Long days in our typical English summer weather, I love these times to spend time with family & friends.
I hate it when the weather is too hot & humid.

My favourite thing is the warmth - I can't stand being cold and think I need to live in the warmer climate!
My least favourite thing is people putting on the air conditioning so it is too cold when you are wearing lovely summery clothes!
