I don't have a garden at the moment, but I have fond memories of going into the garden as a child when the weather was warm.

    If eating/drinking is not an option, I’ll go for reading as I used to read outside as a child. :)

    I like reading outside @66Mustang, and did as a child too. Eating and drinking is a good one :) What's your favourite drink when the weather's hot?

    Me too @OverlyAnxious- especially if I've already spent some time sitting in the sun!

    @Tori_Scope probably fruit juice or milk or a cold beer :yum:

    I have to say that I usually crave a cold beer as soon as the sun comes out @66Mustang! Fruit juice is another good one, as well as smoothies.

    I have a rigid pool I love it I sit in it with a cold drink chilling out listening to music it's big enough for a floating sun bed do when I feel cool I sunbath on the floating bed

    That sounds lovely @pinklady25. I wish I had a pool! Do you like to swim?

    Me too @sandy_123. Though I don't love it when bugs and wasps try to get at my food, or when the wind picks up and the napkins go flying :D

    I am reading quite an interesting book @Tori_Scope thanks for asking, it's called "The Leviathan" by Rosie Andrews. I think it's her first fictional novel. 

    It's set in 1643 in Norfolk and is about suspected witchcraft. There's definitely some supernatural elements, and it's not scary to read, just quite atmospheric and creepy. I'm enjoying it so far, and the cover is very eye catching :)

    Haha @Tori_Scope, yeah those are the disadvantages of eating out side.

    Cricket's a good one @Biblioklept! We used to have a plastic set, and then a wooden one when my brother got into it for a while. Sport can be a lovely way for the family to spend time together :) 

    I like to chill out more these days too.

    My favourite garden activity is watching my husband do all the work while I relax.
