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. 

What is/was your favourite garden activity?

Reading

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

I just like sitting in the shade with a cool breeze... 

Tori_Scope

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? 

Tori_Scope

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

Tori_Scope

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.

Reading for me, especially in a shaded spot when it's hot!

Paddling pool

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

Love eating out side in hot weathers, especially with family. 

Tori_Scope

Are you reading anything at the moment @Alex_Scope?

Tori_Scope

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

Tori_Scope

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

Paddling pool

@Tori_Scope my pool was on sale 50.00 it's a rigid pool have to put it together then put the plastic in and chlorine and there is a cover   lits lovely in this weather and I love floating on the blow up sun bed it's relaxing it takes up most of the garden but it's fab 

I love swimming and I like swimming in the sea if its a nice day it's very hot here today

Reading

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

@Alex_Scope it's a fab book and Rosie Andrews is quite a good writer in my opinion I couldn't put it down  enjoy

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

When I was younger I have such fond memories of playing in the garden particularly playing cricket with my dad. I was useless as I have terrible hand eye coordination and just generally bad at that sort of thing, but I loved spending time with my dad so much. Now I just like to chill out there, a book, a nice drink, music. Bliss.

Tori_Scope

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 dissertation deadline is next weekend and then I will also be chilling out more these days (guilt-free too!)
