Summer!

Sunny weather definitely improves the spirits of most people, if the happy smiles I’ve seen on the faces of passers-by in the street over the last few days are a measure of that.  For my own part, the intensity of the colours around me seems to increase, their vibrancy echoing my perceptible feeling of improved well-being. It isn’t difficult to be cheerful when gaudy pink roses showily toss their heads against the bright, blue backdrop of a cloudless sky. Or when children play and dance in the afternoon sunshine, their vivid clothes a carousel of colour, a kaleidoscope of summer.
