Hello chums, today’s post is more of a lifestyle theme that I can’t wait to share with you. This time of year one of my favorite things is summer evenings, when the sir gets cool and the sun shine is out until 9pm onwards! It’s perfect for us full time workers, it’s still light and we can make the most of every second of sunlight and warmth on our skin. 
To make the most of the summer evenings, I decided to put together a selection of things that I like doing and maybe you will too. Let’s face it, before we know it we will be wearing coats again and dreaming of hot bubble baths in the evening! So while the sun is shining it’s best to make the most of it. 
Number 1: A Summer Evening Spent Indoors.

So of course, when the sun is out it’s great to be out and about in it but sometimes after a long day at work all that is needed is the comfort of home. For me, on a lazy evening at home, especially in the summer I like to treat myself to a little indulgence. What better treat to have when it’s slightly muggy and hot than your favorite tub of ice cream! This gets my vote any day, especially as snuggling on the sofa is great all year round. I either do this whilst watching something on Netflix or On my iPad browsing on line or Butlers Bingo!! 
Number 2: An Evening Stroll/ Bike Ride.

This is probably my favourite thing to do on a Sunday or week day when I have some energy! I am so close to my family and although I don’t have my own pet I love walking our family dog and my sisters new puppy. I love animals so much but sadly Chris my partner is allergic so it just makes me appreciate summer strolls like this even more. I also have a little shopper bike, which sees a lot more daylight in the evenings when it has cooled down!

Number 3: A Relaxing Read.

This is an all rounder, you can read in the garden, or indoors but my ultimate favorite is lounging on my mum’s swing chair. Just make yourself a cuppa, choose a good book and you’re away! 


Number 4: Baking and Summer Food.

Pretty much most of my life involves plans surrounding food! I love eating and Summer time means the yummiest choices as well as great social plans. I enjoy picnics with my picnic basket, bbq’s on the weekends and evenings on the seafront, as well as my mum’s fantastic bakes! Strawberries and cream are one of my favorite so when she had fresh ones on my brothers birthday cake I was in heaven!  

Number 5: Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside.

So probably not ‘relaxing’ as such, but something that fills up a lot of my free time in the summer. I mainly relax on the beach, sit and chill out on the common or in front of our families beach hut. The most enjoyable part though has to be ice cream, arcade games and spending time with friends and family! 

I hope you enjoyed these summer evening ideas, ways to relax and my personal favourite things to do! What do you enjoy? There are so many other things I could have added!
