Why Summer Is The Best Season
I just adore summer and everything that it brings with it. It’s undeniably my absolute favourite season of the year and I always think life just seems so much more appealing and relaxed during summer. Here’s are just some of the reasons why I love it so much…
The delicious smell of barbeques wafting all around the neighbourhood
Barbeque food. SO good!
Lazy days in the sunshine
Getting to wear your favourite summer outfits. It’s so much easier to dress for sun than it is for rain!
Long summer days when it’s still light at 10pm
Being too hot rather than too cold for a change
Gorgeous summer flowers in bloom making everything more colourful and pretty
Being able to head to the beach for the day Summer holidays. Yay!
Everyone around you is happier in summer and that’s undoubtedly a good thing
Eating more healthy food because who wants to gorge on junk food when it’s hot outside
Being able to hang out your washing to dry (it’s the simple things!)
Not having to don 10 different layers every time you want to leave the house
Being able to relax outside in the sunshine with family and friends
Long walks in the summer sunshine
The unmistakably summery scent of sun tan lotion and after sun
Putting on a big pair of sunglasses and feeling fabulous
Summer drinks in the sunshine. Everything tastes better in the sunshine
Having a (safe) suntan
Seeing the kids out playing in the parks and streets
Enjoying strawberries and cream whilst watching Wimbledon. A glorious British staple!
Fresh, local food in season
Summer road trips
Blue skies
Getting to wear bright, colourful clothes instead of your dull, drab winter staple shades
Having barbeques for breakfast, lunch and dinner just because you can
Being more sociable. There’s always so many more social events going on in summer and I love it!
Summer weddings
Seeing your garden blossom after working hard planting, tidying and maintaining.
Walks along the beach
Relaxing in your local park
Leaving your doors and windows wide open to let the fresh air into your home
Having to wear less make up ’cause you’re rocking a summer glow (plus it’ll just melt off in the heat anyway!)
Swimming!
Feeling the sun warm your skin
Seeing kids splash about in paddling pools and totally wanting to get involved in it yourself!
Watching less TV and spending more time out enjoying the weather and the fresh air.
Waking up in the morning and the sun is already shining
The worst part about the summer is that it definitely doesn’t last long enough here in the UK and we don’t see just quite as much sunshine as we’d like to! So, the sun’s out for now. Get out there and make the most of it!
