I am so sick of the weather. I have been rained on almost everyday this week. It is near on impossible to push a buggy and carry an umbrella at the same time and I refuse to wear a ‘Mum coat’ (i.e something practical) on the school run. The dampness is somewhat self inflicted I guess, but still, it’s my god given right to be grumpy.

I want to wear peep-toe shoes and bare legs.

I’m sick of my winter coat and having frizzy hair thanks to the drizzle.

I want to spend the whole day in the park, running after my little ones and playing hide & seek.

I want it to be Pimms O’clock.

I want to eat picnic food and drink chilled lemonade. I want to smell barbecues and get excited about salad again.

I want to watch Wimbledon (even if that means more rain).

I’ve had enough of my winter complexion. I want a hint of summer glow. I want to wear next to no foundation, bright eye shadow and cream blusher.

I want to put the children to bed in the evening and then sit outside on the deck, drink a glass of wine and eat salty peanuts.

Roll on summer, I say. Who’s with me?
