Ah summer! Definitely my favourite season. I love feeling the warmth of the sun on my face, wearing open toe shoes and al fresco dining. Summer is just around the corner and I can feel the anticpation in the air! I asked some of my favourite bloggers to share what they're looking forward to the most........
1 - Not having to wear socks! Birkenstocks always - Nelly's Cupcakes
2 - Long days and lots of excuses to stay out all day with no worries of rain or stormy days. It just feels very free... - Kelly Allen
3 - Summer for me is when my work gets exciting as I get to work outdoors and get to spend time with participants that I wouldn't normally get to. Plus I get to wear short and not tracksuit bottoms - The Girl and the Treadmill
4 - Long family days out then getting home, getting the kids to bed and being able to then sit in the garden while it's still light and hopefully warm with a cool drink and the hubby :) - A Blog's Life
6 - Picnics, even if only in the garden 😀 - Stacey in the Sticks
'The fact that everything seems better and more hopeful!'

10 - Being able to get up before the kids and have a coffee outside in the garden. The first time I was able to do that when we moved from a flat to a house with a garden always stands in my mind as one of 'those' moments - Coffee Cake Kids
11 - Summer nights with the BBQ out and camping with friends. The days feel so much longer! - Here Come the Hoopers

13 - I love the fact Newcastle becomes like a continental city with outdoor tables for al fresco dining & the fantastic events we have on to keep families entertained - Canny Food

32 - The fact that everything seems better and more hopeful! Even a bad day working in the summer isn't so awful, every evening feels like a mini weekend when it's nice weather. We took to going to the beach often on a weekday night and it just makes you forget the rest of your day! - Devon Mama
