what are your summertime rituals or must-do’s for the season?

It’s the long holiday weekend in the U.S., where Monday is Memorial Day, and in the U.K., where Monday is a bank holiday: summer has begun, unofficially, at least. (Canada beat us to the fun last weekend, with Victoria Day last Monday.)

What are your summertime rituals or must-do’s for the season?

Trips to the beach? Barbecuing in the backyard? Tending a garden? Hangin’ out by the pool?

I am looking forward to enjoying the ridiculously long English summer evenings, which seem to go on forever. And I hope to find a day where I can rent a car and just go for a long drive in the countryside.

What will you get up to while the weather is nice and the days are long?
