Summer Time and the Rivers are flowing

I always say that Spring and Autumn are my favourite seasons… Autumn because its all cosy and rustling leaves and beautiful colours and shorter days and darker nights and jeans and boots and we can plan our annual Bonfire Night party and Christmas is coming…. And then Spring because I am fed up with Winter and its long drawn out cold days. I love the blossom and the buds and the longer nights and sunnier days and the anticipation of what is to come!! So yes for me anticipation is everything but then SUMMER ARRIVES and the birds are singing and the rivers are beckoning and the beach is waiting and there is just so much to do.

And I try it all: Canyoning (yes scaredy cat me)

Kayaking (yes scaredy cat me again )

Kite surfing (trust me its good for guy gazing)

Rivers and Beaches

Inflatables on lakes (good exercise …………for the kids …..I’ll look after the bags)

Eating out

and of course
Sun tans (The half a stone I have put on thanks to good eating and Rose evenings with friends seems less scary when tanned) – No photo here!

But what I do love mostly about SUMMER is the way it makes us feel when we wake up and how it can drag teenagers away from the sofa and become children again and how it makes us feel …well Happy!
