HELLO
SUMMER

HOORAY FOR SUMMER!

by Stienie Greyling

hen blue skies appear then we certainly know
that summer the warmest season of the year
Wis here!
Waking up to the sunlight glistening through the trees
or streaming in the window instantly energises us for the
day ahead. Gazing up at the pure blue skies also soothes
the soul.
Summer, because of the warm weather, is the perfect
season to do outdoor activities. The possibilities are
endless with new adventures to try and places to explore.
As nothing else can beat relaxing in the summer
sunshine, the chance to relax is one of the main things
that people love to do in the summer.
It is a great time to relax with friends and family:
soaking up the sun at a beach, simply having dinner
together or diving into a fresh cold pool.
The summer season is the best time for festivals and
activities, lots of good food, drinks and fun music.
The smell of meat, sausages and ‘braai’ bread that come
from a barbecue is one of the best summer experiences.
There is nothing we love more than bringing out those
beloved shorts, T-shirts and summer dresses so our skin
can see the light of day.
In the summer season, areas located in the extreme
north or south receive a lot of quality time with the sun.
In places such as Fairbanks, Alaska and St Petersburg,
Russia the sun doesn’t set until midnight throughout
June. During summers in Antarctica, the sun doesn’t set
at all.
