the arrival of summer

So as I write this, there are a few spots of rain appearing on the pavement outside - perhaps Summer is not quite ready to make an appearance, but for the past few days we've had some truly amazing weather here. Finally the kind of weather people are expecting me to have seeing as I live in Italy!

The arrival of Summer here brings plenty of opportunities to eat ice cream (every single day - it's a staple part of the diet), warm sunshine, lazing about in parks, strolls, salads, picnics and beautiful colours, not to mention the scathing looks from the locals as we leave our apartments in appropriate Summer dress whilst they are all still bundled up in coats, jeans and scarves.

This new change in temperature is having me bristling with excitement at the prospect of travelling to glorious sandy beaches and beautiful old towns on my days off, but also of outdoor concerts, practising in a warm room with the windows open and a breeze floating in and the ever-nearing Summer Holidays.


How are you planning on spending the Summer?
