You Know Summer's Over When .........

[Amber]

For something to be over, doesn't it have to have begun?

ooh very deep for a bank holiday monday morning Perhaps we are heading for one very non-descript season and nothing else.

Christmas is ages away

But shops here are already removing "back to school" displays (which replaced Easter Eggs, so a whole term before the last school year finished) and starting to put the Christmas stuff out! Halloween stock made an appearance as soon as the Olympics ended.

Summer is over when you step outside the back door with your morning coffee only to find yourself shrouded in an entire family of spiders and their country pile. ..and their fly breakfast.

Downton Abbey
Has Maggie Smith left?

Oh for goodness sake, we are all waiting for the Indian summer. Christmas is ages away

We went to our local garden centre on Sunday and decided to stop off for a coffee and a slice of cake and had to walk through the Christmas shop to get to it. It was fully kitted out with decorated Christmas trees, lights, baubles etc. I had forgotten that they do this every year. I will not be going back there until December.

Quite right. In my family we have sooooooo many birthdays in November that we cannot look forward to Christmas till at least the 1st of December.

As far as Downton is concerned, Maggie was in the trailer, so I think all is good

My birthday is in November. No one in our house is allowed to mention Christmas until December.

Good news about Maggie.
