Things I Love and Hate About Summer

So as we all know, us Brits will never be happy and will always find something to complain about even if there is nothing to actually complain about. In winter we are always moaning about how cold and horrible the weather is outside and how much we wish it was just summer already! But then, as soon as we hit the months of May/June we usually have some lovely sunny days (only some...) and then the rest of the time the weather outside looks like it belongs back in December... However this year surprisingly we have actually had a lot of sun so far for a British weather which is very unusual. However, you would think that this would make everyone happy and there would be no complaining because the British weather has finally got something right! But nope, us Brits still complain about how hot it is and after so many days we are just wishing for the cooler air (maybe even some rain) to appear. This brought me onto writing a blog about things i love and hate about summer in Britain.

THINGS I LOVE...
Summer is definitely one of my favourite seasons along with probably everyone elses

BBQ's- I love BBQ's so much. I mean, whats better than sitting outside in the sunshine eating as many burgers and sausages as you like. Family BBQ's are particularly my favourite as its something that everyone enjoys and gets everyone together whilst drinking cold kopperburgs in the sun. yummy

Summer Clothes- Summer clothes are so much easier to wear than winter. You are (most of the time) able to go out without a jacket or coat and are able to show off your outfit of the day without having to shove a huge furry coat over the top. Especially if you have a few pairs of shorts and skirts they are so easy to wear as you can just throw them on whenever with any little tops. 

Bright Colourful Nail Varnishes- Brightly coloured nail varnishes are my favourite! I think they would be a bit inappropriate to wear in winter depending on the colour and may just look a little bit odd. I love all the coral and pastel blue colours and they always look really pretty when wearing anything white, or with a tan on holiday!

Breaking up for the the School/College Holidays- This can also be a hate thing because, well as much as everyone loves breaking up from school or college for summer, the days can start to get kind of boring as practically everywhere you go you need money to spend.. basically everywhere. But Summer holidays are also really fun for hanging out with friends and just have a nice long break from worrying about work for college and preparing to go back in September. Also they are good for taking up new hobbies or finding something new that you like to do, such as me creating this blog out of summer holiday boredom and now i really enjoy writing posts and getting ideas for new things to write about:).

Summer Holidays- Going abroad on holiday is one of my favourite things and i would go on holidays every month if i could... I love seeing new places and just generally being on holiday in the warm sunshine by the pool or the beach and knowing that the weather at home if most likely raining makes it even better! ;)

Holiday Bracelets/Anklets- I have sooooooo many holiday bracelets that i have collected and to be honest i don't even wear them all which is pretty pointless haha! But i really like wearing my holiday bracelets and anklets with my sandles ofr pumps in summer as they just look really cute and remind me of the places i have visited on holiday. 

Summer Photographs- Obviously i take so many photos in summer, because well, what better time to take photos?! Everywhere i go im snapping away and just love looking back the next year at all the photos i had taken the year before :) 

THINGS I HATE- 

I apologize for the amount of writing im putting. sorrrrrry

Hay Fever- Now for all you lucky people out there that don't suffer from hay fever your probably thinking, why does this make you hate summer?! But for anyone who has hay fever and gets it especially bad like i do, you will understand that it makes you feel like your dying and it is the worst thing ever when you have a really bad day of it. I cant stress how much i hate hay fever and is just one of the unpleasant things that mother nature has gifted me with. I have tried near enough everything and still nothing makes it better so i kind of just have to somehow cope and survive the summer months especially on hot sunny days. If anyone else suffers from bad hay fever.. 
I FEEL YOU BRO, LETS SUFFER TOGETHER. 

Warm Nights- Another rare thing in Britain but warm stuffy nights are THE WORSE. You may be lucky and have a fan in your room but for those who don't you will understand how horrible it is to try and sleep in a warm room. Your practically lay in bed sweating (sexy, i know) and not being able to sleep because of how warm and irritated you get. My room may as well be a sauna because its at the back of the house and gets the warmest which is very very unfortunate for me... dayum

Insects- I don't know why but on a night, every fly, daddy long leg, moth and other random flying things think that just because i have my window open and light on, they think that my bedroom is party central. Another reason why my room is so warm because i cannot open my window on a night without getting attacked by some kind of flying thing. Daddy long legs especially are like my fear, they are so ugly ew, like what is even the point in them they are like flying spiders... Not pleasant. If a daddy long leg flies into my room and my dad is asleep so cant catch it, i then have no other choice but to grab my essentials as fast as i can and sleep in the spare room. YOU ARE NOT INVITED HERE OK. 

Trying to get ready- When it is 20 odd degrees outside, getting dressed and ready proves to be the worlds hardest task ever if your a girl. I mean we should get a medal for being able to go out in public looking half decent. Here in the UK, we don't have air conditioning installed, because we don't usually need it you see so windows are best were going to get. If you don't know what your wearing for that day, you may want to try and few outfits on to decide. But can you do this with little effort? oh no. You end up getting all frustrated because your getting warm and just give up in the end and throw any old thing on because its just too much effort. Along with trying to do your hair. Now your already feeling hot and bothered when you realise that you have to straighten, curl or put some kind of heating product on your hair which is going to make you twice as hot as you already were. yay. This brings me onto make up. How the hell are you now meant to do your make up when your body temperature is about 30 degrees, i don't even know how we do it, but we do. By the time you have applied your make up your practically sweating it off at the same time which means your have to leave it till the very last minute before you leave to go out. 

Its a hard life being a girl in summer eh. 

Public Transport- There is nothing worse than sitting on a bus or a train whilst it is 25 degrees outside and there is like 2 windows open on the whole bus. Then it doesn't make it any better when someone on the rather large side comes and sits next to you to ensure that there body heat is getting passed on to you. nice. If anything i would try to avoid public transport but considering i cant drive that will be slightly impossible. 

Now there are probably another 100 things i could ramble on about what i hate and love the most about summer but i think im going to stop there, unless i can think of anything else i want to share i may pop something on the end.  :).
