Summer Spotting 2025 - Let us see what the summer has in store!

Welcome to the second edition of the Online Community's annual Summer Spotting thread!

As we settle into late June 2025, the UK is basking in the early warmth of summer. The days are stretching luxuriously long, and sunlight lingers well into the evening—an open invitation to slow down and soak it all in. Whether you’re already living in sandals and sipping iced drinks or still adjusting to the season’s glow, there’s no denying that summer has well and truly arrived.

Perhaps you’ve felt that first burst of heat on your skin, heard the hum of bees drifting lazily between blooms, or noticed the scent of sun-warmed grass mingling with barbecue smoke. Maybe you’ve seen children chasing ice cream vans down tree-lined streets or noticed how the evening light turns everything golden. These small, joyful moments signal that summer is here—vibrant, buzzing, and in full swing.

We’d love for you to share the signs of summer you’re spotting with the Community. Get ready to snap away this summer and keep us posted with your shenanigans!
