Challenge #2

Tunnel of Love
Journaling: The romance of summer! What do you love? Write about anything you feel sentimental about or that gets your heart pumping.
Creative: Write a love poem to anyone or anything you like

Well, I'm an August bank holiday baby (even if Mum says I shouldn't say that since I wasn't technically born on the bank holiday, but eh, close enough), so I always had my birthday in the summer holidays rather than having to spend it at school (which I later found out I would have had to have done had I gone to school in Scotland rather than England, where the holiday dates are different).

But what I would mostly say for summer memories is spending time with family (bit of context for anyone who hasn't known me very long or doesn't know me at all, my family is pretty much scattered across the UK) so the summer holiday was always the chance to spend time with people I didn't see enough of.

I was about to say I was born at the end of August too, but I just checked your profile and we actually have the same birthday! I always thought August was the best month to have a birthday because it doesn't compete with any other special days, at least in the US. My partner and my oldest friend were both born near Christmas and often felt as kids that their birthdays were overshadowed.

Yes, we were born on the same day, same year! Birthday twins across the pond. :)

A European country that sends its children to school in August? Sacrilege 😅 I thought none of us Europeans did anything in August.

But great that you were in England and kept your birthday in the holidays😊

I would guess that as the climate is pretty cold in Scotland, they need to make the most of the summer weather and have holidays earlier in the year than England, perhaps? August can be a weird month, I remember loads of school holidays where it was raining and dull all August. I've generally found May, June, July to have better weather. Maybe that is the reason for different holiday schedules.

I am biased because my birthday is in September, but I think having a birthday in a warm summer month is just the best!
