Anyone else looking forward to shorter days and longer nights? I know I am

I am not looking forward to colder days do so hopefully we will get another mild winter because let's be honest Summer has not been great so far. In fact I think the best weather so far this year was back in March.

Absolutely not. I'm going out to do a bit in the garden now and enjoy a bit of fresh air, long may it last!

No way. Life's too short for wasted long nights. The long days are a pleasure - more outdoor activities, healthy air and sunlight, no heating on etc.

Long days and great weather.

75% of the year it’s pissy and miserable weather.. bring sun, warmth and summer.

The 21st June is the Summer Solstice so its already started to go the other way, as the hours of daylight start get shorter again after that!

Absolutely not. Though I'd be delighted if we could move some of the morning brightness to the night. Don't need sunlight streaming in at 4; would be happy to be outside at 11 and it be bright.

Halloween and Christmas, sure. But, right now, I’m looking forward to enjoying more of these long evenings.

I’m in two minds. I can’t take the heat and prefer chilly spring weather.

I don't mind shorter days but I'm dreading utility bills this winter.

I love the change of all seasons. Love the long summer days but also really look forward to around October time when you really start to feel that autumnal tang in the air. I also actually really enjoy winter, but ideally a cold, dry one. Nothing nicer than walking the dog on a frosty morning and curling up in front of the fire in the evening. But by the end of winter I'm always ready to welcome the lengthening days again.

Enjoy it being warmer, but don’t enjoy it being bright up until 10pm.

Hate how early it gets dark during the winter tho.

Would love to have it bright til 7pm all year round.

Love Autumn especially September October. Can't wait to see the back of heyfever season

Yes same here. Just have to get even more efficient. Only use things when you absolutely need to and get a good led torch for getting around the house. That is what I do. It saves a bit with less use of your lights. Yes things are thuff now but they will hopefully get better again we just got to get through the hard times.

I won't be going around with a torch anyway! I'll use electricity and heating as normal but will resent paying more for it.

A winter of discontent ahead.

Yup, as a ginge summer is horrible. Myself and the sun don't get on, we don't like to see each other. Thankfully he's away most the time, because it's horrible when he's around. And as a gamer, yes, looking forward to being able to play games without having to duct tape the curtains closed so I can see the tv.

Each to their own and all that. Easy to warm up, impossible to cool down.

Only person I know that has ever wanted longer nights is a nasty POS 70 year old cretin with no friends and spends her days wathcing all the soaps....but theirs all sorts out there. Weirdos everywhere.
