Anybody else on here hate spring and summer?

Hello all. Slight smile

Been a while since I last visited this forum, but it's nice to be back and hopefully now I am able to spend more time on here.

Anyway, anybody on here hate spring and summer as much as I do? 

Whilst I enjoy a good thunderstorm and I also like flowers, that's the only part about this time of the year that I like. I wouldn't say that I have reverse sad as such (at least not yet), but I am undoubtedly much more of an autumn and winter kind of person. People keep going on about how they look forward to spring and summer and you feel obligated to play along with people in conversation who say that "the weather is so lovely at the moment". But I can't relate, though I used to.

I have two gardens and I detest having to maintain them as it's such a hassle (getting myself a flat is out of the question for the timebeing). As a night owl and an introvert I am also not a fan of the ridiculously long daylight hours and for this reason I always look forward to the summer solstice. There's also the local boy racers with their loud cars or motorbikes speeding along the street as well as the blasting out of loud 'music'. And you also get the bugs including swarms of flies and pesky wasps. 

In terms of temps, above 23 Celsius starts to become on the uncomfortable side for me and UK homes aren't built for the heat. What is just as annoying is that any forecasted hot spells are upgraded each day we get closer to them.

I would probably enjoy summer more if I was abroad on holiday lounging by the pool or on the beach whilst staying in an air conditioned hotel. But in the UK, summer is an annoyance.

  • Hello, yes I hate spring and summer, with a passion haha. I absolutely love Autumn and Winter, and I love sharing with the spring and summer lovers that the nights will soon be drawing in mid June and that Autumn is around the corner. For me, I can sense the changes in August, there are ever so subtle signs around that time that change is coming, and it fills me with absolute joy.

    I love the cold dark nights, getting home and putting the candles on and getting cozy in my numerous fleeces. Autumn has a certain smell too, maybe it’s the damp leaves but it just smells so wonderful when combined with the cold air. Plus, we start getting all the storms rolling in which I absolutely LOVE! I love storms, wet n windy weather, all of which we get loads of in Autumn and Winter.

    The only thing I do like about spring and summer, despite my hatred of it, is all my trees come into leaf and provide more privacy so I can sit outside, sometimes well after dark, and enjoy a cup of tea without fear of being spied on. All what you’ve put about spring and summer I can relate to though, so you’re definitely not alone in this. 

  • Only nine days to go now until the solstice. Grin
