Always BBQ responsibly, this is why I don't BBQ anywhere but my patio

Wildfires? We've barely got enough joined up countryside left to have wildfires in...

Yeah, it's probably a warning for wheelie bins rather than trees :)

I absolutely hate summer. Everything is too bright and too hot and I hate it. Roll on autumn!

Oh I’m with you. Stepping out of my southerly facing front door onto tarmac at anything past 2pm and I’ll go blind, then combust. It’s like that scene from Terminator 3.

Mid to late spring is the best. Beautiful flowers, long evenings, warm but not too hot, Theresa Green, al fresco dining. Being able to leave the house in just shorts and t-shirt and not having to wrap up warm, perfect!

Although since I took up running, I do appreciate the cooler weather a bit more.

Nice to see the sun I suppose but unfortunately for me it also comes with triggering my pollen allergies.

I woke up to news of several forest fires here in Germany. You are not alone.

Where was that nuclear winter we were promised?

Almost makes me want to patrol the Mojave.
