you know its summer when the elderflower pollen gets right up yer nose 

how do i know its summer ?

i know its summer when i step outside after a cool damp night and my nostrils are scoured by the smell of elderflower

when there is a traffic jam of people wanting to buy plants outside every d.i.y

when i see hooray henry types in pressed shirts and creased trousers drenching other with ice buckets after a champagne binge in the kings' road
