I've got my summer watch on. Instead of moving the hands back and forth twice a year, I just swap watches!

Oh how I love ticking the boxes of spring and summer, and the thread is a big one.

Very warm day, first post work BBQ where I wasn’t in a jumper and rushing indoors ASAP. Let the good times roll.

It’s getting rather warm on the banks of the Thames. Lovely to see the sunshine!

How much better would the UK be if we could guarantee even just a few months of this weather per year.
