I Love Summer

Summer. I love every season, but nothing sums up my chosen lifestyle better than this one. The beach, the sea, surf, warmth and freedom that comes with this time of the year. It has so many memories, the holidays, the camping, the festivities and the specialness that comes when everybody is feeling chirpy and relaxed. For most people, there is life after work that is not just television. It may be a swim, a surf, maybe just a walk round the block, or a quiet beer on the deck. Man, I love summer. For me, there are so many things. I was raised at the beach, I grew up a surfer, and when I lived overseas, I couldn’t stop fantasizing about my little home and spending days at the beach with my friends and family. Summer. There is so much joy. Yup, and ice cream and sausages.
