British summertime
Begins tomorrow and it's the longest day, hope you enjoy it
What do you love about british summer time and whats your favourite things to do. I like going for walks along the canal, and doing the garden, or just sitting on the roof watching people go by, enjoying a nice cold drink. |

Re: British summertime

Re: British summertime

Re: British summertime

Re: British summertime
Summertime :confused: Are you sure as it is a little wet not sunny up here.

Re: British summertime

Re: British summertime
I am fascinated by the fact that Madhatter can sit on his roof and watch people go by. There's not much traffic on our roof, apart from the odd pigeon.
Love sitting in the garden after work, warm breezes on my face instead of an icy blast, with the gentle chink of ice in a glass of something alcoholic. |

Would do the same as Pendy here, 'cept raining tonight and had to put my fire back on :( Would prefer to walk to a decent pub to sit out in their beer garden, if anybody would accompany me .. open to offers? however, Clayton bereft of a setting which befits the ambience I prefer. |
Re: British summertime
Your visions aren't that far off, have you ever seen weekend at bernies, where they sunbath on the roof? I might take a pic tomorrow
I would offer kate, but I'm 2 hours away. There's a nice pub down the cut here, with a garden on the canal bank. |
Re: British summertime
You've got me singing the old Drifters song here!

Re: British summertime

Re: British summertime

Re: British summertime
Well i hope its better than today,,,Its been more like November here
|
Re: British summertime
It's a block of flats two wide by three high. there's a block of 3 shops with houses on to the right, and a block four wide by three high the other, I decorate the lot at christmas with lights, along with the pub and barn over the road, so heights are nothing to me.
yes gayle summer solstice, mid summer, this calendar is wrong and I didn't think it through. I'll remind you in november when it's not 22c its 5c granny claret |

Re: British summertime
Wasn't exactly long nor the brightest daylight in fact miserable grey day in weather terms!!! How long is this wind gonna last blaming Gale force up here:(
|
Re: British summertime
Windy down here too, was a bit brighter this morning then went dull, and windy and rainy. I blame mel, she sent it down here to me.
I can remember sitting out front of a restuarant opposite houses of parliament, same bank, but it was over looking the thames, over the road from where all the pleasure cruises dock, I must only have been 8, if that, can remember it like it was yesterday. we sat at a table out the front on the pavement, and had a meal, blazing sunshine. Place is long gone now, and I don't know anywhere in london you can do that now at a reasonable price. |
Re: British summertime
Blimey ive been sussed:D
Though it was all supposed to have gone to hatters not stayed here too:rolleyes: |
Re: British summertime
British Summertime - Now there's an oxymoron. My wife and I were in England the last two weeks of May and the weather was bloody awful. It rained most days, it blew gales, it was cold and we even had a tornado in Hesketh Bank where we were staying with my eldest son. Of course, everyone delights in telling us that the week before we arrived was beautiful and that since we returned home on the 31st May, the sun has never stopped shining. Oh well how wonderful!!
|
Re: British summertime
Really? i'd like to know how? Saturday was nice, saturday before was nice but its been windy in the week, and rained, it's been on and off since you went back.
|
Re: British summertime
Yes we had our Oz visitors over here then...they had two lovely weeks and then two cr*p weeks...the week before they flew back was so-so...but as soon as they had gone the sun was cracking the flags....two weeks of that and it has gone again.
Like Kate I got my winter coat out today.....put the sleeveless dress back into mothballs...I didn't suit it anyway...I've got arms that a Russian Shot putter would be proud of! |
Re: British summertime
Grabbed me duvet last night it was that cold here. Got no one to keep me warm, it's gonna be wierd in winter on my own.
|
Re: British summertime
I put a thin quilted throw on the bed whilst it was hot and muggy......I asked hubby last night if he wanted the quilt back on...he said 'no......I'll snuggle up to you...that'll keep me warm'.
|
Re: British summertime
What a wash out.:(
I was up at Dawn's crack with other druids and didn't see the sun at all. |
Re: British summertime
oohh why was you looking for druids cracks,,shame on you ,,,lol

Re: British summertime
..............or invest in an electric blanket :)
|
Re: British summertime
I can't cuddle an electric blanket.
Teddy wins. Doesn't nag, knick the duvet, snore, talk in it's sleep, say it loves tom cruise. Down side is, it's never in the mood, I'm not a furvurt anyway so it's happy, and it never brings me a nice cup of tea in the morning :( |
Re: British summertime
Today was nice, It's killed my bedding plant though, I thought the rain would be enough but obviously not.
