Surviving the Summer with a Smile

Surviving the Summer with a Smile


by David Yotes


Summer time can be unpredictable in this country. Some summers we enjoy weeks on end of hot weather, while other summers see us shivering under the shelter at the park we came out to play in because we just had to do something, even if the weather was bad.

The key is not so much having the perfect weather but knowing what to do with the weather you've been given. If it's a hot day, are you the kind of person who can quickly throw a barbque together or a trip to the seaside? When the rain pours do you have a backup plan?

Every garden should be summer ready, even if for most of the time the weather does not play ball. Having a barbeque is an essential. When the warm weather strikes, it's no use using those disposable things, you should have a real barbeque and plenty of charcoal. It's best to stock up on barbeque meets for your freezer as well because they tend to fly off the shelves when the warm weather strikes.

Sometimes when the weather strikes, people are suddenly overcome with how hot it is. Kids especially are desperate for a swim and it can feel like a real hassle taking them to a local paddling pool. This is when having a nice quality intex above ground pool will come in handy. There are several above ground pools available that are inexpensive and that can be constructed in a moment's notice for when the warm weather strikes.

Trampolines are good fun for the summer months, they are also a great way for kids to get some exercise when the weather is cold. They can run outside on a colder day and have a good jump around and then come inside. It's less hassle than trying to convince them to go to the park on a cold day. Sandpits are also great to have for those days when it's warm enough to play inside.

Summer is a great time just to hang and relax, so whatever the weather, be prepared to simply enjoy the time off. There are loads of things you can do inside, such as catching up on reading, chilling out in front of the telly, and honing your cooking skills! No time off is time wasted unless you waste it!
