It is now officially the British Summer! Well as of 2 o'clock this morning. I'm very happy to say that today has somewhat resembled summer as the sky is practically cloudless and the sun is shining bright. As I sit here typing out this post it is 6:43pm and at the moment the sun shows no sign of setting for a couple hours at least.
I don't know what it is about the sun, but it just makes everyone immediately happier and slightly more pro-active. People have been out at barbecues today and I've heard lawn mowers going since about 11 this morning. It's lovely.
Hopefully, this weather (sunny, very little breeze, no clouds and relative warmth) will continue right through now until October, when it will begin to get colder again. Obviously a little more warmth would be nice though. However, warmer weather does have some consequences. For example, as soon as it gets above 12 degrees boys (major stereotyping here; be warned) seem to think its perfectly acceptable to walk around without t-shirts on. It's not acceptable at all. It's 12 degrees for goodness sake! Of course, sun burn will soon become a topic of conversation because no one ever wears quite enough sun cream (myself included - that idea of a perfect even tan is just way too tempting). Despite this, I love the summer. Everyone just seems a lot happier to be around other people and all your photos automatically look a lot better because the sun makes everyone glow.
Now, I'm off for a brief evening stroll (I would say walk but that implies some sort of purpose and an idea of pace which is definitely not going to be happening) whilst the air is still warm and the sun is still shining. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and I hope you all have a good week.
