My favourite thing about summer is when the sun is shining and eating ice creams.

The worst thing is when it rains and it's colder.

Favourite - days out feeling happy with the ☀
Least favourite - trying to sleep in the heat

Best thing-lovely sunshine,worst thing-hayfever

We are lucky enough to live fairly close to a beautiful blue flag beach with a flat embankment and we often walk as briskly as possible for half an hour.
I have a fairly serious lung problem and am not allowed antihistamine so pollen is a real problem in this lovely weather.

The best - sitting in tbe garden, eyes closed, birds singing, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin
The worst- knowing it will only last for a short time and the dreaded winter will soon return

My favourite thing is being able to go to outdoor gigs and festivals. My least favourite is hayfever!

The best thing is just getting out and about without loading yourself up with coats and brollies "just in case".

The worst - sun cream. Having to slather it onto little wriggling grandsons, and it making your eyes sting.

Favourite thing: sunny days in pub gardens in the countryside with family and friends
Least favourite thing: Hot sticky nights where it is so difficult to get comfortable and sleep well

My favourite thing about summer is the swallows arrival and the pipistrelle bats in my roof.

The worst thing about summer is that it doesn't last long enough.

Favourite: The start ofsummer
Least Favourite: The end of summer

I love the family fun in the sunshine and HATE getting sunburnt and sweaty

My favourite part of summer is spending so much time with my Grandson and children on days out and picnic, the worst is all the annoying midges that like to feast on me.

Favourite thing - night time walks; least favourite- no snow!

Best thing walking along the beach with the sun on my face and seeing the children playing in the sand.
Worst not being able to sleep when it's too hot at night.

My favourite thing about summer is the side effect of being outside to get my Vitamin D! I feel - and look - so much better with a light tan. Happy days.

Humidity is not my friend, however. I hate the damp, energy sapping stickiness.

The sound of children squealing with laughter as they jump in and out of sprinklers.
The endless slathering of sun cream.

Best thing: reading in the garden

Worst thing: mowing the lawn

Favourite thing light evenings
Least favourite having to apply sun cream

Favourite thing- the warm sunny days, blue skies and ability to get out& about.
Least favourite thing- mosquitoes and annoying wasps.

Lovely warm sunshine and eating outside on the deck
Least favourite is hayfever from grass pollen

I love the warm sun shinnig from a clear blue sky, the beautiful british countryside with its cool woodlands and open meadows. Hedgerows alive with songbirds and be jewelled with wild fowers. Gardens with striped emerald lawns and sweetly perfumed colourful boarders.
I dislike miserable grey rainy days!

Favourite thing has to be the longer lighter warmer evenings and least favourite thing is hayfever!

First off my ultimate favourite thing is walking down the high street with the sun shining and everyone smiling, jovial and good humoured.

Least is how tired the heat makes me and having to shut the windows because my inconsiderate neighbours shut their dogs out and let them bark endlessly! So selfish..

My favourite thing about summer is reading outside in the shade. My least favourite thing is getting sunburn!!

That perfect summer afternoon - blue skies, hot sun, the scent of thyme and lavender hanging in the air. A comfortable chair in a shady spot, a glass of ice cold sparkling water and an unputdownable book.

But then - a sudden brief stillness, darkening sky, distant rumbles, coming closer. A rush to unpeg washing. Big drops of cold rain splashing onto warm skin. Lazy afternoon rudely interrupted.
