Waiting for the summer

[This is not my photo - found it here - I just thought it looked nice and was relevant!]

The sun was out today as I walked home, and it was just beautiful, even though it’s still a tiny bit on the chilly side. I had a coat on so I kept warm and could simply enjoy in the golden rays, weaving their way through the leafless trees. It really reminded me of the summer and also how much I’m looking forward to this summer in particular.

I know we’re still only half-way through winter and we’ve got a lot of rainy days to get through first, but once we’re there, it’s going to be pretty awesome! I just love the warmth, the light, being able to go out in a t-shirt and shorts, barbecues, going to the beach (which really isn’t the same in January!), sunbathing and daylight staying until late. England really can be a beautiful country.

This summer is especially nice though – for the first time I’ll be free of school – no work to do, no thoughts of going back in September, no limit to the fun factor. Hopefully I won’t be bored having less to do, although that said, it’s looking like it’s going to be pretty awesome!

The weather put me in quite a good mood, and also in the mood for some summery songs… So here are two that I would like to share with you!

The first is called Waiting for the Summer by Delirious? from the album Audio Lessonover. I love this song! And I also love Delirious? incidentally… This is the best version of the music video I could find on YouTube, so I apologise that the audio & video are slightly out of sync.

The second song is called Summer Nights by Rascal Flatts, possibly the happiest band I have ever heard! I love their style, and this song always makes me smile.

Hope you enjoyed those, I certainly did when I listened to them. I’ve decided this post is quite silly, as the light outside is beginning to fade, at only 5 o’clock…
