What Summer?!


A view up my back passage on a much warmer day than today. [click to embiggen. Oo-er, missus!]

But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
The last day of summer
Never felt so cold
Never felt so...

Autumn's almost here.

Dammit.

    1. I love summer, too, but so far this year we've had some nice weather in June, and a couple of weeks in August, but Spring was horrid and most of the summer was grey and miserable... Jx

  2. We are going to have an Indian Summer next week, Jon! Don't put away the sun cream just yet!

  3. It's currently 22˚ here. Going up to 28 today. It's a relief (that I'll be complaining about in a few weeks). That's the most beautiful back passage I've ever seen.

    1. Oh, the summer's been great for the plants - grey, damp weather suits most things we grow (although the cold Spring temperatures meant everything was a few weeks behind this year). Nothing except the pelargoniums really enjoyed last year's sizzling temperatures.

      What I feel, however, is somewhat cheated (being a sun-worshipper, and all)... Jx

  5. I must admit, I've rather liked this summer as I don't like the heat or too much sun, so all the big, puffy clouds and restrained temps have been welcome. There has been rather too much rain at times though (even if it mostly fell at night in these parts).
    It looks like Ms Scarlet's Indian Summer may come to pass, so I hope you can get out and enjoy it!

    1. I like sun and warmth when it's supposed to be sunny and warm (i.e. May, June, July and August), but I'll take a hot, sunny week in September if that's on offer! Jx
