I always found that the run upto summer was one step forward two steps back,
especially here in Southend-on-Sea when the weather warms up and then in
comes a sea breeze with mist and it feels like winter in a small space of
time :-(

Late June/July/August/Early September, that's about the size of it
generally.

Is it just my imagination or does "summer" always take a while to get
going of late?
