I love days out strawberry picking with the kids, kite flying or going on holiday and having cream teas together!

My least favourite thing is everyone in the house complaining at nighttime when it’s too hot and everyone is over tired.

I love summer - my favourite season, there really isn't much not to love about it.
My favourite thing is spending time outdoors and wearing clothes I hardly ever get to wear!
The downside is having to smother heaps of sticky sun cream all over me - though I have to admit, I love the smell!

In the summer, I love the lighter and brighter days and not having to worry about clearing off the ice off the car in the mornings. I don't like it when it gets very hot and suffering with hay fever.

The best thing is the lovely lie ins with no school runs, and the worst thing is the amount of money it costs in days out etc!

I love that people seem genuinely happier when the sun's out. I love the long nights, and spending time with my friends and family.

I hate that I sweat so much I basically look like a drowned rat most of the time, and like now, during a heatwave I have no pool to swim in.

Favourite - 6 weeks of doing all the things on my list - like reading! Bliss!
Least favourite - when it’s not ‘summertime’ weather!

My favourite thing is watching the children playing in the garden - so much fun with a paddling pool, sand pit and their outdoor toys!
My least favourite thing is the current moorland fires our home area is struggling with.

Long evenings in the garden with an iced Gin & tonic & lime.

My favourite thing about summer isn’t that we can spend so much time in the garden. Life is easier when the kids can play outside without then trailing mud all through my house! My least favourite thing is that boring insects LOVE me ?

Oops - that should say biting insects! ?

My favourite thing about summer is that wearing a maxi dress and flip flops feels just as comfy as wearing a nightdress and slippers - especially when I don't put underwear on.

My least favourite thing about summer is that in order to wear said flip flops, it seems I have developed the need to shave my big toes now I am over 40.

Ah well, you win some you lose some.

Best thing about summer is being outside without coat, scarf and gloves - the worst thing, it never lasts long enough!

the lovely sunny weather which makes everyone smile, the worst having to share my lovely Devon with all the non locals who drive too fast in country lanes in the middle of the narrow road and are afraid to move over into the hedge

My favourite thing about summer is the long, light evenings which remind me being sent to bed as a child in what appeared to be full daylight, still hearing the birds singing and smelling the sweet peas which blossomed under my bedroom window. Now I like that I can still go for a walk in daylight at 9 or 10pm.

My least favourite thing about summer is simple;hayfever!

MY favourite thing is going to the beach and my least favourite is too many wasps.

I love the warmth and not having to wear 17 layers of clothes but I hate flies

Favourite thing about summer: wearing lighter clothes and not worrying about a jumper etc.
Least favourite thing: having to keep pulling up weeds in the garden and cutting the grass.

I love sunbathing but I hate trying to get to sleep at night

My Favourite thing is the long Summer evenings-and everyone seems happier!
My least favourite thing has to be WASPS! Oh Yes!

Enjoying a good read in the garden with a glass of wine in hand, birds singing and bees buzzing-feeling relaxed and unhurried. There's nothing better!
Least favourite thing is lying awake at night unable to sleep due to the recent heat-however even that is improved by opening the windows, listening to the Barn Owls and finishing that wonderful book that I can't put down..

My favourite thing is having all the windows and the patio door open the least is having to mow the lawn

All the young birds feeding on my bird table

The best thing about summer is going on holiday and being able to read as many books as I like lying by a pool. The worst thing is all those flies that enter the house buzzing around,yuk!

my favourite thing is more time away to read and relax but my least fave thing is the bugs!

Great sunshine days
