THE Summer tag

Louise at Polka dots and freckle spots  did this tag and so I thought I'd give it a go, it being season appropriate.

1. What is your favourite thing about Summer?

Oh, the fact that I can walk to the park without getting wet feet, without having to wear layers. Being able to get washing dry.  And all those hours of daylight make me so much more motivated. I just smile every time I walk in the park. And sleeveless dresses, shoes without socks, swimming outside, cheerful people.

2. Do you have a favourite Summer drink?

Not really although I always love a still lemonade- you know, the natural one that is ever so slightly bitter and slightly sweet. Plus, my Mum's elderflower and rose cordial with fizzy water is delicious!

3. Is there a special place you like to visit each Summer?

Well, it's definitely not summer unless I go to music camp in the Chilterns. I've only missed one year in the last 18 years so it's a summer institution. Also, now, I feel cheated if I don't go up to Northumberland to stay with my lovely in-laws and take a walk in the Lake District.

4. What's your favourite make up look for Summer?

Ha, make-up??? I don't wear it in the summer (or really at all).  If I did, in the past, I would love to wear bright turquoise mascara. That's all I would wear and it was a fun look! I still have some somewhere!

5. Dresses or skirts?

Dresses, of course!  So much easier! Fun and lots of variety.  You don't have to worry about a matching top- you can make a fun skirt look boring very easily!

6. Festivals or vacations?

Oh, definitely vacations! I've not been to many festivals but I love peace, silence, nature and walks rather than lots of people! 

7. What's your signature summer hair style?

"I wouldn't call it a hair style exactly; if my hair isn't worn down, I just absent-mindedly scrape it back in to a messy knot or pony tail to keep it off my neck!"- totally the same as Louise's answers. Or bunches if my hair is the right length.

8. What is your signature summer scent?

I don't really have one- I just wear the perfume I have which is usually my beloved CK Be (when I actually remember to put it on!) 

9. Pool or beach?

I love both! I adore water.  I like to swim but I much prefer swimming in chlorine rather than salt. BUT, I love all that comes with the beach- walks, breeze, cliffs, paths etc.  If I could swim, I'd choose a river or a lake as there's no salt OR chlorine!
I visited Haltwhistle outdoor pool this week which made me SO happy. It was delightful!

10. BBQ or seafood?

I like parts of sea food and parts of BBQ but neither are my favourite way of eating. I'm more of a veg person.

11. Do you tan or burn?

Both.  I tend to get very rosy cheeks and shoulders but it often turns to tan in the end. I do try to hide under hats as much as possible though!

12. Favourite Summer song?

I don't have a quintessential summer song, I don't listen to that many songs!

I'd be delighted if you were to have a crack at The Summer Tag, if you want to, of course! If you decide to blog about it, leave me your link so I can give it a read!
