Welcome to the feature where every fortnight we will explore different topics that are listed in the book A List A Day by Paperchase. They range from food, music and travel to really random topics so I thought it wold be a fun one to talk about throughout the year!

Today’s List: The Best Things About Summer

With Summer not to far away, I thought it would be fun to have a look at some of the things that I usually love about the season. Obviously, in recent times there has had to be a change to how Summer is delt with due to the pandemic but they are things that I look forward to in the future.

The beach – My favourite thing about Summer is the water, I am most happiest near the sea especially. I find that the sea creates a sense of hope and optimism and it always makes me feel happy. When I was at University I deliberately took a job at a sea life centre by the ocean so I always had an excuse to go. In the summer, I prefer the beaches that are away from crowds as I am not a fan of them.

Flowers – One of the best things about summer is flowers, they are jolly, they are happy and smell delightful. I feel flowers just make life that brighter place.

The breeze – Something I have loved doing since I was a kid and even as an adult is on a hot day, lie on some grass and allow the cool breeze brush over me. I love it and it makes me feel happy and also very calm at the same time.

Ice cream – I mean summer wouldn’t be summer without some great ice creams would it?
