Favourite think about summer is BBQ with family and friends,good weather.Least favourite- Mosquitos

I love sitting in my cherished developing garden in a deckchair eating an ice cream.The worse thing is the itchy sore insect bites that appear from nowhere despite using repellent.

I love being able to walk round the garden in full daylight at six in the morning listening to the birds singing and admiring the flowers.
I hate dead-heading the petunias - they are so sticky.

My favourite is warm evenings and clear night skies for star gazing. I dislike flies and midges.

I love the abundance in the garden - so many plants coming into flower, but I hate watering!

Favourite is gardening - love being out & working there. Least favourite is definitely hayfever! Apparently the pollen's at it's highest for a decade this year - I can certainly agree with that - it's been horrendous so far!

Love being able to wear fewer layers, but hate hayfever, and being too hot!

My most favourite thing about summer is music festivals ???
Least favourite is wearing wellies in the summer ?

Love feeling the warmth of the sun as I lay on the sunlounger.
Hate those itchy midge bites.

Love waking up and sensing the warmth of a summer morning, early coffee in the garden before anyone gets up, listening to the birds - hate that summer is so short

Best thing of all is the sun, just love it.
The worst thing must be the insect bites.

Sitting on the swing with a g&t on a perfect summer evening is the best bit. Midges last night and no swifts or bats yet to deal with them.

My favourite thing about summer is my garden. The colour, the scent, the butterflies and birds, fresh vegetables, home grown fruit and Mother Nature making sure that it al happens at the right time. My least favourite thing is the bugs and beasts that spoil it all!

My favourite part of summer is my garden. Relaxing with a good book being pleasantly distracted by the bees and birds that visit the garden is my perfect day.

My least favourite part are the long hot muggy nights.

Favourite thing: sitting in our new garden with a cold drink and a book while the grandsons bounce off all their energy on the trampoline.
Least favourite: insects!

I love the feel of sunshine on my skin, albeit through sun protection, and always feel healthier in summer.
My least favourite thing is when, having planned a weather dependent activity, the weather does the typical British thing and lets us down!

Love the light evenings to spend time with family
dislike hayfever!

Favourite thing is when the sun shines I can be out in the garden all day. Least favourite is that no housework gets done and I'm ashamed if anyone calls in and sees the mess that I make and live in!

I hate wasps

I love the light mornings and evenings, and the long days being able to enjoy the garden.

I don't like barbecues, the smell of the cooking wafts into my house so I have to close the doors and windows to keep the smell out.
