British summertime
Begins tomorrow and it's the longest day, hope you enjoy it
What do you love about british summer time and whats your favourite things to do.
I like going for walks along the canal, and doing the garden, or just sitting on the roof watching people go by, enjoying a nice cold drink.

Me & my mates always walk along the canal in Clayton when it's sweltering hot - find our way down to Wilsons, have a knockabout & a mini wembley, I whip out the guitar & before we know it everyone is in a chorus of kumbaya & it's quarter to 2 in the morning!
Quality!

British summertime began when the clocks went forward on the 26th March, tomorrow as you pointed out is the longest day..... I can't help start thinking it's downhill from here and the dark evenings will be back before you know it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: British summertime
The Longest Day tomorrow?
Does that mean we have to hit the Normandy beaches again?

Re: British summertime
I am fascinated by the fact that Madhatter can sit on his roof and watch people go by. There's not much traffic on our roof, apart from the odd pigeon.
Love sitting in the garden after work, warm breezes on my face instead of an icy blast, with the gentle chink of ice in a glass of something alcoholic.

Did wonder what Madhatter was doing on his roof .. send us piccie Hatter, then we can understand a little more .. have visions of ladder from pavement to gutter, you with your climbing boots on, hanging on a chimney for dear life, possibly with fiddle in yer hand.
Would do the same as Pendy here, 'cept raining tonight and had to put my fire back on Would prefer to walk to a decent pub to sit out in their beer garden, if anybody would accompany me .. open to offers? however, Clayton bereft of a setting which befits the ambience I prefer.

Re: British summertime
Your visions aren't that far off, have you ever seen weekend at bernies, where they sunbath on the roof? I might take a pic tomorrow
I would offer kate, but I'm 2 hours away.
There's a nice pub down the cut here, with a garden on the canal bank.
