when
i was a little girl Summer was Summer. the days were hot & sometimes the nights seemed hotter. we made trips to the supermarket to cool down. it was extra cold in the frozen food section! icy poles were a daily treat & the slip n slide was always set to go. Summer clothes were a staple & we never needed jumpers. but since my little girls have been growing up Summer to them can be a mixture of hot days. hot nights. cold days & rain. they are confused as they have a choice of Summer clothes one day & long sleeved tops the next. i long for those hot aussie Summer days that never end & hope they come back soon!

I agree, the same can be said for New Zealand. Summer seems to come later and later and this season it is very wet.
ReplyDeleteI was just having this conversation earlier today.....I remember those summers! They were real "summers" and tasted like sunscreen, icy poles and sea water....
ReplyDeleteSame, this summer is all over the place. x
ReplyDeleteI love this post Sarah! {and I agree totally with it!}

I miss them too. The endless heat. The occasional storm. Bright, bright days. You had to eat your ice cream in seconds or it would melt all over your hand. Something has changed. x
ReplyDeleteYou can have the HOT Aussie Summer, if you move to Qld!!! It's been so hot and humid over the last week... and it only gets worse from here until about March or April.
ReplyDeleteThese are just SO beautiful! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

The world has gone silly,I know. Hope you are enjoying your summer holidays!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Is it weird that I feel a little emotional right now? missing 'the real summer'. I am not liking this new unpredictable and often dissapointing summer.
