Summer is nearly here!

The Whisper of Summer

There’s something magical about this time of year, the cusp of summer, when everything starts to hum with life again.

My daily walks are becoming better and better. The air has shifted, carrying with it soft, familiar warm breezes. Trees are starting to leaf.. And everywhere I go, the birds are chirping, tweeting like they’re announcing something we already feel in our bones: summer is nearly here.

A certain kind of happiness comes from spotting bumble bees bobbing from flower to flower, their fuzzy little bodies moving with lazy purpose. I love bees!

The days are stretching out slowly, giving us more time to soak up this energy. It’s as if the world is urging us to slow down, breathe it in, and find happiness in the simplest things, a quiet morning stroll, the scent of freshly cut grass, (a favourite of mine, that and petrol)  - the sun on your face.

Summer has a way of lifting spirits, doesn’t it? People smile more. Well sometimes... The warmth seems to seep into our mood, melting away the heaviness and troubles of today's world.

Maybe it’s the sunlight. Maybe it’s nature doing what it does best - reminding us that no matter what, growth returns. Hope returns. Colour returns.

Here’s to the almost-summer days, the birdsong mornings, and the buzzing bees. Here’s to finding little moments of peace and wonder in the turning of a season.

Take a deep breath. Summer’s calling.
