I am a man for ALL seasons 
But itās not like we would refuse to acknowledge it if the weather happened to be spring-like on the 1st of the month.

Spring and Summer for me. I donāt like Autumn at all, with all that mellow, moist, Last Rose of Summer vibe, I think itās sad and makes me think of death 
Halloween and bonfire night and the carnival we have here lighten the gloom, though
December is OK with the lead up to Christmas and Yule
And I like the symbolism of a New Year, so January and February I spend getting ready for Spring 
You lot have no soul
The seasons are governed by the solstices and the stars and the rhythms of the Universe not by some man made first of the month rule!

I hate the cold of Winter, I always look forward to Spring and the earth waking up and coming to life again. But I love the long warm summers, it hardly gets dark at all here then. Autumn colours are lovely and itās still mostly warm, but I do start to feel sad again as I know Winterās not far away.
If I have to choose just one then itās Summer.

No they arenāt, they are purely a human construct. Why are there only four? or even two (wet and dry) the Aboriginals for example have 10 seasons (or so I read). They definitely have nothing to do with the stars (except our star) or rhythms of the Universe
They are just arbitrary designations that humans have supplied for their convenience, the first of the month is as good a date as any for the change of a season.
But the 21st is more arbitrary, which may make it more appropriate for the beginning of an arbitrary event.
Errrrā¦perhaps because we are all humans and see the world as we are brought up to see it.
Arenāt Aboriginals human too? And base their beliefs on how they interpret the world around themā¦Same as us really.
Thatās my point. well done.
Well it is still early here Bruceā¦
I like Summerā¦

My brother in Macclesfield was complaining about the summer so far saying that he had only 4 or 5 days of decent weather. I had no sympathy.

Iāve only gone out and about with no jacket on for three days since the clocks changed into āSpringtimeā 
(Iām sorry you are all suffering flooding over there, btw. We shouldnāt complain about the rain really, but we do)

My birthday is on midsummer day that makes me a summer gal .
However when the temperature gets above 26c next week I might have a change of mind.
