I can't put my finger on it but I always feel depressed in August. June on the other hand is the perfect month.

I like august. I like the coming of autumn, my kids are happy in school & we all like looking forward to bonfire night and Christmas

I have to go back to work 😨 definitely got mid-August blues.

I normally like August.

However it’s cold today, getting dark already, I have a glass of red wine and there’s a Harry Potter movie on TV.

So it feels like autumn already, and I’m mildly depressed that there has been no real summer.

Yes, I feel the same. By now summer just feels a bit done, someone is always away so you can never get everyone together and somehow it just falls a bit flat!
Although I’m not sure about September either as I don’t like it when the kids go back to school 😥. For me Spring is by far the best.

I hate it. Kids (here in England) are getting fed up, the daddy long legs and wasps are out, everywhere is busy down here in the SW and two thirds of the office are on holiday.

I agree.

I adore the long summer holiday and it’s about now I start to feel a very heavy sadness hanging over me.

The nights are drawing in for sure, the garden is past its best, and the start of another school year is hurtling towards us.

I like August! I don't like January or November though, too cold!
