Waiting for the Warmth of Summer

Oh, John Steinbeck, I do agree with you. When I am stomping my way round the village clapping my hands together to keep warm, I just keep reminding myself that spring is right around the corner. Although I do my best to be in the present, noticing the frost on the trees and the icy patches on the pavements, I cannot help but let my mind wander to all of the outdoor adventures I have planned when the weather is warm again!

This is what I am looking forward to:

walking miles, picnics, parks, hot summer nights, the seaside, sandals, a cool beer, getting a tan, beaches, flowers, reading in the sunshine, festivals, ice-cream, al fresco eating, the countryside, camping, laying in the grass, t-shirts and shorts, maxi skirts …….
