What I Miss About Summer

We're coming to the end of the winter months.

Cadbury's Creme Eggs are appearing in all shops, which could only mean one thing, Spring is coming! During Spring we have warmer weather on the lead up to Summer. I can't wait for summer! I am in Year 11 at the moment which means this summer is extra long, and my friends and I have begun planning for the holidays. Today, I have decided to write about the things I miss about the beautiful summer, as we are still in the dark months of Winter.

Lighter Evenings

Dark nights make me so lazy. As soon as it gets dark my body switches into 'I can't be bothered' mode, which is not great during the revision period at school. Also, I have become really tired, and can even be found going to bed at around 8.30pm!

Holidays

No school, no work, no exams, no revision, no homework...pure bliss.

Clothing

Goodbye coats, jackets, uncomfortable tights and gloves, hello dresses, shorts and flip flops. The feeling of not having to yank up another pair of tights, or struggle to find the other matching sock; just simple, light summer clothes. 

Festivals

Last year I went to see the Arctic Monkeys live in April, and they were amazing! I have never been to a festival though, and would love love love to go! Looks like my friends and I need to start saving.

The Sun

Where has it been hiding? I am waiting for it to appear again in all it's glory. Who doesn't love to feel warm all the time?

 Beach

The beach is such an amazing place, that everyone must go to at least once a summer. My family have a caravan in the Kent harbour town of Whitstable, and I love it there. In the summer the town comes to life with markets, parades, live music, and of course the beach. If you are brave enough, take a dip in the sea!

 Tan

Not that I tan easily anyway, but my skin looks so much healthier which a little glow. I have tried fake bakes in the past, but you can't beat a natural tone. If anyone has any recommendations for a good fake tan, I am open for suggestions!

What do you miss about summer?
