    Summer seems to have gone on forever & it's been lovely sitting in the garden with not much on but I'm so looking forward to the Autumn(my favourite Season) & bringing the Coats & long boots out again.
    Watching everything in the garden & surrounding Countryside turn from shades of green to browns.
    Am I the only one? lol

    A Christmas Concert in Vienna would be amazing.

    The British summer is too short for me.

    Apart from our 2 day heatwave where it was too hot, how many really nice summer days have we had?

    The better one is the New Year's Day Concert from the Schonbron Palace starring the Vienna Symphony Orchestra which is broadcast around the world 'live'.

    Looks like you're going to get your wish :sunglasses: Another week of Sunshine forecast. It's been a lovely day here. Hot but a lovely breeze off the coast.

    The last time it was hot (three weeks ago) I ended up in hospital, so I hope it doesn't get too hot

    I like autumn too, summer has been hot but you have to dress according to the weather, I’ve seen people moaning about the heat while wearing jeans , of course your going to be hot.

    My kitchen and bathroom are a brick built back extension on the main property. It has a bitumen coated flat roof and the sun is streaming down on it and the brickwork which is so hot you cannot touch the bricks without burning your fingers. Here we are 18.48 Hrs and the thermometer in my kitchen is reading 38 o C !!!

    Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
    If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.
