We Love Summer

June 21 begins officially the summertime until Sept.22. In the summer the sun rises around 5:00 a.m. and sets around 10 p.m. Imagine 17 hours daylight, that is fantastic. 11 p.m. it's like 5 p.m. in the Philippines, can you visualize? This is what I like here, summertime. At least I can wear t-shirts and sandals. We can sit the whole night outside. There are no mosquitoes unlike in my homeland that mosquitoes are always having a party every evening.
During summer many people stroll down the parks and some go on picnic on the beach or forest. Everybody stays outside. People are more active and energetic. You will see a whole family biking in the park.
People are very busy beautifying their gardens, putting new plants. Some people spend 200 euros or more for flowering plants to make their garden cosy.
Summertime is bbq time. We had bbq last night. This week we had barbecued two times. We had sausages, hamburgers, chicken filet and wings, paprika, onions, mushrooms and french bread. No rice.
It is fun eating in the garden. After supper the kids played badminton Kevin's favourite game.  Summer...everybody is looking forward to every year.
What do you do during summer in your country?
Do you like barbecuing?
What other meat and veggies good for the barbecue?
Do you also have long daylight?
Do you like summer?
