Summer is over..

pinpin

I'm happy you're happy, OP, but I hate it when summer ends.
I'm just happier when the suns out and the weather is warm.
I really start to get depressed when it starts getting cold, dark early, windy, rainy etc.
Makes me desperate to get out of the country or just lie in bed for 16 hours per day

I love Autumn to the start of winter. It's cooled down, my hayfever goes away, the pesky bitey insects have mostly gone and there's less hassle to protect my poor pale skin. I love it when it starts to get a bit crisp and the leaves turn and everything is so pretty. I love seeing people in costume so like Halloween. I love the first frosts making patterns everywhere. I love snuggly winter clothes and cosy new boots. Then the run up to Christmas where there are lights everywhere and everything is decorative and twinkly. And Christmas is the one time of year when it becomes almost obligatory to eat the bad stuff, and what's not to love about that!).

I hate, hate, hate January, February and March because they're cold, dark and windy and depressing. Kicks off with Hogmanay which is always rubbish because everything is so expensive, even normal pubs charge to get in and there's so much pressure to have the best night ever, and nobody ever does!! The winter clothes which I loved at first are getting boring and because I ate all the yummy Christmas food, I'm dieting again, and nothing is pretty and I'm fed of my house looking like a laundry room because there's nowhere to dry anything and it's freezing cold and they keep cancelling trains and I can't wait for spring. And don't even get me started on that Hallmark holiday in February.

Then spring comes and it gets all lovely again, and then I hope for some nice weather in summer, and of course summer holidays.

So to sum up this very long post, I like all seasons except the first quarter of the year because that's just miserable.

This describes how I feel perfectly! I can't bring myself to mourn the loss of summer sun, because I love the autumn, and the run up to Xmas. But once Xmas is over, I'm in a big fat grump up until we start getting signs of spring in March.

I'm an autumn baby and I hate autumn. Alternate years we head south and get an extra summer. If it wasn't for family at Christmas, we would do it every year.

I'm a September baby, I don't enjoy the summer months at all!

Much prefer the spring and autumn. I prefer the beach in the winter too! Nothing like a bracing walk along the sand to blow the cobwebs away.

Definitely not. I hate hate summer and warm weather. I sweat like a fat girl outside Krispy Kreme at even 18 degrees. I absolutely love autumn and winter, especially curled up on the sofa while it's chucking it down outside, or being cool enough to snuggle into a blanket. I am a summer baby.

I'm especially fed up with newscasters and weather people whining that because it rained one day it must be the end of summer when it was mid July, and about how summer is ruined because it rained twice in a week. We live in the UK. It rains in summer. Get over it, this is nothing new.

summer is great. A bit of sun gets people smiling and rises the vit D levels. People are generally happier, and there are holidays (if you are lucky enough to afford one) to look forward to

Winter sucks, it is cold, depressing and a lot of people suffer with seasonal affective disorder, which is a type of depression and your gas and electric bills go up, burst pipes, old people breaking their faces on the ice, etc

Don't even get me started on the fakery that is Christmas - I don't celebrate it as am not religious

Hate it when I lie in bed hearing the Combine turn away then come back, all night long through August. Not the farmer but the end of Summer.
Also please farmers wear masks. Saw two today sitting in a cloud of dust and not wearing masks. I knew two lovely men who left their families too early, due to the dust on their lungs.

So why do people book to get away to the sun in the middle of summer?

Never makes sense to me. Go in the winter when it is colder in the uk.
