Rave: Summer in England
Today is the Summer Solstice – the longest day of the year. Hard to believe that the days will now start to get shorter again, but there you go…
All over the UK, the last few weeks have seen many a clear blue sky with temperatures as high as the mid 30′s (C).
At the site I currently work at in Hampshire, all the trees and flowers have burst into their full bloom. Everywhere, the whole place seems to be teaming with life and I find myself looking for excuses to get outside – just for a few minutes – at regular intervals.
Most evenings when I pull into my driveway, I catch a whiff of one of the smells of summer; freshly cut grass, BBQ lighter fluid (and later more mouthwatering smells!) etc. At times like this, I can’t think of many other places in the world that I would rather be.
Forget France – come to England!
