Song Summertime in UK

Summertime 

 

Verse 1: 

It's summertime in the UK 

The sun is shining bright 

The days are long and warm 

The nights are short and light 

We're ready for some fun 

We've waited for so long 

It's time to hit the road 

And sing our summer song 

 

Chorus: 

Summertime, summertime 

We're feeling fine in summertime 

We're going places, we're seeing faces 

We're living life in summertime 

 

Verse 2: 

It's summertime in the UK 

The weather is so nice 

We're heading to the beach 

Or maybe to the ice cream shop 

We're enjoying every moment 

We're making memories 

It's the best time of the year 

There's so much to see and do 

 

Chorus: 

Summertime, summertime 

We're feeling fine in summertime 

We're going places, we're seeing faces 

We're living life in summertime 

 

Bridge: 

Summertime is here at last (here at last) 

Let's make it last as long as we can (as long as we can) 

Summertime is what we need (what we need) 

Let's celebrate with all our friends (all our friends) 

 

Chorus: 

Summertime, summertime 

We're feeling fine in summertime (feeling fine) 

We're going places, we're seeing faces (going places) 

We're living life in summertime (living life) 

 

Outro: 

Summertime, summertime........

France

 Just checked the stats for today 22/09/2022 in the afternoon and this site has had more hits from the great folks in France than in the U.K., yes a shock but I am based in the south of the U.K. not far from a city called London, you may even have heard of it I dare say. Anyway getting back to the point and the reason for this blog post is that I appear to be more popular in a country that does not have English as its first language yet it is looking at this site.

How does that happen?

I don’t care just as they may have got something from this website, what they got from it I suspect I will never know.

Anyway I shall keep a look out to see if today was just a flash in the pan and that all the hits from France were just a mistake.

Boxing Day

So its Boxing Day here in the UK, which is good as its a day off and also no where else do they have a Boxing Day.

Snow

Lots of very cold weather and so it goes without saying there is snow due and if I believe the weather men lots of it, not to sure if it will hit my part of the UK

Clouds

lots of cloud again, I do sometimes wish that the weather in the UK was well just a bit more predictable, but then again having weather that is always going to be different is I suppose what makes us Brits brits, if you get what I mean.

I suppose it was nice to have some blue sky but in the UK you pay for that by having lots of grey sky.

As I write this it's not yet raining, but I am sure that given time the weather will get round to it real soon

Bank Holiday 2

Aug Bank Holiday here in the UK as I write this at 8 in the morning the weather doesn't look good e.g its wet and there is wall to wall grey sky why?

Meteor Shower

Well it has to be said that the weather in the UK is such that you can all most guarantee that if there is anything almost interesting going on in the sky at night that it will be cloudy, and that was just so for where I live in the UK last night.

For you see last night the 12.08.09 was supposed to be a great time to see a Meteor shower, one of the better ones in the year, and the predictions where for a go show, some 100 meteors an hour or so, which is something that I would just love to see, I think the most meteors that I have ever seen has been some 4 or 5!

So you can imagine my disappontment last night when having a look at the night sky at 10.30 pm that not only was it cloudy but it looked like it was going to rain!

I am told that the next meteor shower is going to be in November, so I shall make the effort then to have a look, that's assuming that the weather for once gives us a chance to see what is going on up in the night sky.

Blue

The other day after some 5 to 6 days here in the UK I got the chance to see the sky with a blue colour. Now I know that this is not an unusual occurrence in some other countries, but here in the UK the sight of a sky that is mainly blue is something to be celebrated. We Brits do a very good line in grey skies, in fact grey skies are I think what we do best.

I mean for over 50 percent of the year us Brits have to put up with various types of grey skies. Sometimes for just a little bit of variety with have some white cloud but some how we just don't know what to do with it and it tends to get placed here or there, mainly anywhere that seems right.

Sometimes you wonder how people in other parts of the world manage to cope with all that blue sky. I mean it don't seem natural from where I am sitting; I'm sure that the normal state of affairs is that the sky is grey with the odd bit of white sky thrown in for good measure.

I must admit that I have been to places where the skies are blue most of the time; the first few days are rather nice as it’s a nice change, but over time you start to get an uncomfortable feeling that some thing is just not right. And it gets worse as you just can't seem to nail down what it is that it is that is getting to you. It’s only much later when coincidently you are back under grey skies that you realise that it was all that blue sky that was getting to you in some way or other.

Maybe being brought up in the UK makes you sensitive to what the skies above you head are doing, maybe being British is being able to live in the gloom of grey skies for over fifty percent of your time.

I can present to you an observation of mine that famous people who have lots of money move from the UK to places that have lower tax and blue skies, I not sure which one comes first, but tax might be the main reason. any way if these people where in the art e.g. pop stars it seems to me that with in the year they just don't seem to produce the same kind of work and the same quality of work anymore. And that pretty soon they end up either moving back to the UK or having holidays back in the UK, can you image that!

Just a link to one of my fav music sites, ther always appears to be some very different music, it tends to be much better than what's in the UK charts.
