Is It Winter Yet?

Another blog written couple of years ago, some of my blogs are old ones which I’m slowly moving over. Wonder how summer be this year? Bit gutted as we’ve decided it’s safer not to jump in the camper this year and go camping.

To most people, Summer means sunshine, ice cream, smell of sun tan lotion, good looking girls in less clothes, gorgeous men with tops off, hot days……
In reality it’s: melting ice cream everywhere, chavs or gross obese blokes with tops off, women wearing things a size too small who really shouldn’t (bitchy yes, but it’s true), chav kids causing mayhem during summer holidays, increase of sirens whizzing down the road, sunburn, wasps and flies annoying you, being bitten, hot nights meaning you can’t sleep or cuddle and having to work during the heat.. Or is this just my view?

Despite the above, I do like summer especially the sunsets, clear skies to see stars and the lightning show you may see at night time, sunshine, walks out, a nice cold drink in a pub garden, the BBQs (haven’t been to many as we don’t have a garden), but I prefer winter… Those cold nights where you can have a mug of hot chocolate, curl up on the sofa and either read a good book or watch some rubbish film. Being able to snuggle in bed, then there’s the eating of certain food round Christmas time – good old roast dinners, chocolate etc.

Mind you, summer usually means better public transport as there’s less kids using them, more buses as none are taken off routes to be school buses, less traffic during mid-way of school holidays and it also means less staff in work place as everyone wants to take the time off (this maybe seen as a good thing depending on who is off), staff more irritable as it’s hot and after all who wants to be working in nice sunny weather? Of course there’s also the crowded beaches and trying to find a spot, however the best part of summer is probably laughing at the typical sunburnt British…..you can usually spot us folks from the United Kingdom on holiday, just look for the most sunburnt person.
