Anyone else sad summer is drawing to a close?

Yes! I'm usually an Autumn person, it was my favourite time of year, but this year I have loved the summer and hot weather. Its cool and dull here this week and I miss the heat! Not looking forward to Autumn/Winter this year..

No Autumn is my favourite time of year! Am sad that in a month my DD will be returning to uni and I’ll also be getting an operation (at least I hope so, not that I want an op but I need it). And also yes time is passing. But summer was just too hot and loved that I needed to sleep under my (only tog 4) duvet last night.

I refuse to even think about it

Yes I’m with you OP, am a total summer girl! I am probably less gloomy this year than I usually am when when there hasn’t been a good summer, but still can feel my mood dipping already. Hate the cold, hate the dark, hate plans being ruined by wind/rain (having to check forecasts constantly and carry spare layers and waterproofs for everyone 😐) Compared to the carefree summer days of drink and suncream and away we go. Don’t mind latter half of spring as it means summer is imminent but Sept - Feb can get in the bin as far as I’m concerned!

I’m looking forward to being able to leave the house and do stuff again. I suffer reverse SAD though.

Can we just have the Goldilocks of weather more often please? Not freezing tits off weather, or being too hot to do anything without needing another shower.... just nice, pleasantly warm sunny day that puts a spring in a person step and a smile on their face but can still get things done!

I don't feel like I've had a summer.

I have a few medical conditions and can no longer stand the heat. Sadly now it makes me really unwell so I've just spent the last eight weeks or whatever trying to avoid the heat wave and keep cool. I haven't been able to enjoy any of it.😩🙇🏻‍♀️🤬

I feel like I'm waiting for summer to start...& and yet the nights are getting darker so early 🥹🥹😩😩

I love autumn, it's my favourite season, but I do like to feel like I've had summer first.

Yes and no.

Im going to miss the daylight and to be honest, the dry days have been so lovely.

But the heat has been oppressive. It’s been far too much.

Amen sister
I have hated this awful hot weather and I am pleased it’s cooler and I’m looking forward to autumn and winter definately

Yes please!

It’s the cycle of the seasons and fundamental to everything on earth. I’m delighted we’ve had a bit of rain and it’s cooled down.

I love summer. The longer days. The nicer weather. Outings with the kids.

meee! Im a summer person plus I have to go back to work as a teacher in September, I’ve been in Cornwall and France all summer. Not looking forward to the cooler and darker nights, the cold dog walks and setting my alarm clock.

I used to be, like you, young and adventures and also then with DC. However now, menopausal, working in schools in heatwaves, looking forward to cooler weather 😎

It’s been a horrid summer, I have felt ill and exhausted for most of it. I have found it more depressing than the rainiest day in January, honestly.
Cannot wait for autumn.

November is the worst month it always seems so cold and miserable. I think I hate it so much because my Mum had her funeral in November and it was a cold and miserable day.

I am absolutely sick of summer . Too hot to be outside and too hot to sleep. It’s been a miserable
summer for me and I’ve spent so much more time inside than I would normally as I can’t stand it.

I’m looking forward to autumn and winter.

I love the summer too OP. I've got 3 teens and I've loved watching them all play in cricket matches and we went on a 2 week holiday together and everyone got on well and it was a lot of fun. Teens went on high zip wires and DH and I sat under a tree in shade on scorching hot day and ate several ice creams getting occasional glimpses of one or other of them swinging through the trees. Eldest will be back at uni in September and other 2 starting college courses. We are making the most of the last few weeks of summer although I did hear we might get another heat wave in September.

I'm sad summer is coming to an end. I like autumn but summer is my favourite time of year.

In the end of the day, I appreciate all the different seasons. But my God winter is rough to get through. I didn't go on my usual winter escape this year and I felt it. It was a hard time, and we experienced a particular harsh winter this year.

Yessss. I was pleased to get into a cosy bed tonight instead of not being able to sleep in a baking bedroom but I’ve been feeling chilly all day and not being able to dry my washing outside sucks

Absolutely not.
I like having seasons

Hmm fuck “fostering an all weather attitude”. I will mourn the end of the summer. The dark. That’s what I hate. The dark.

Well there's Halloween and Bonfire Night,Christmas, NewYear, Pancakes. At age 3 everything is new and exciting for DD. This is your opportunity to reach her to love all seasons. Fake it 'til you make it OP!
Start researching autumnal activities and crafts. Indoors and out. Foster an all weather attitude.

I get really sad at the end of summer. I love the long, light days- they give me energy.

Yeh me....I hate November through to march
