Summer

Summer fun has begun at last. Sun is shining every morning. Shimmy into our swimsuits fast. Seaside soon will begin swarming. Slather up with loads of sunscreen. Sunglasses protect from sea sheen. Sunbathing is a real blast. 21/06/2018

This is my home year round Jean. A lovely summer poem! I think this is a little like a Pleiades... seven lines beginning with the one word title's first letter? Congratulations on your win! : )

Thank you Connie. Our summer has been so unusually good so far I am only managing fleeting visits to Soup. I have been swimming a lot as well. However, the wisdom of age tells me life's too short to sunbathe. Lovely to see you. I hope you and yours are well.

Good morning from what promises to be the hottest day on record in Ireland Carole. Unfortunately, I am in uniform, about to take report.

My own ginger head would agree with you Maureen. Freckles are her fair weather friend.
