I love the long light days, fresh soft fruit and salad from the garden.entertaining friends and family in the garden watching the sun go down as we play games and barbecue.
Also love washing bedding and ironing all in one day, the smell of sunshine on my linen. I love the smell of freshly mown lawn and my fragrant rambling rose. Mmmmm

The best is the long summer days and the worst not being able to sleep at night

Best thing is the feeling of optimism and long days. Worst thing is it’s over too quickly!

I love how the brighter warmer weather makes me feel happier, but I don't like how lethargic hot weather makes me.

Best thing about summer is the warmer weather and eating refreshing ice cream and salads.

Bad things, bugs

Most favourite is family time in the garden doing crosswords together.
Least favourite is those little gnats that find their way into the house in the evening making that high pitched buzz! smile

Fave: The sun and general upbeat feeling it brings
Dislike: Suncream.. I hate applying it and stress about when it needs reapplying if I have covered everywhere etc..

Longer Daylight Hours to get things done outdoors / Hot & Humid Nights make it difficult to get a decent sleep.
