The summer has finally decided to arrive in the British Isles, making us emerge blinking into the scorching sunlight. It is practically tropical in my neck of the woods which means one thing.....time to get the summer clothes on. It has been a struggle for us Brits this year, the weather has not been kind to us and we longed for our favourite summer past times; sitting in a pub garden and burning. For all the readers not from the U.K there are a few things you should know about us:
1. We spend all year looking forward to the inevitable week of warm weather we get every year.
2. From June-August we WILL wear our summer clothes no matter what temperature it is and we WILL enjoy it. Sandals are an appropriate foot wear choice even if it is raining, as long as it is summer; we aren't idiots!
3. Even if it is blooming freezing we will still sit outside and as our lips turn blue we will rejoice in the glimpses of sunshine.
4. As soon as the sun hints at coming out there is a secret race to see who can have a BBQ first. If you win you can gloat knowing that you beat all the neighbours that you never talk to.
5. No matter what temperature it is, the sea will always be freezing but it won't stop us. Convulsions and chattering teeth are the sign of a great time.
6. We will always burn because we don't believe in using sun cream in our own country, that is for abroad. We can handle our own sun thank you very much.
Well I have done 3 out of the 6 since the sun started shining (2 days ago) so I better crack on with the other 3.
