While we're not the first, nor the last, to provide a collection of inspiring Summer quotes, we still feel it was a worthwhile exercise.
There is something inarguably affecting about a good quote isn't there? The right words can capture a feeling, a moment, and transport you somewhere.
Here, we've gathered eight summer quotes rich with feeling. Each of them capture something of the glorious summer season.
Seasonal Living
We live attuned to seasonal rhythms here on our little Welsh farm. This lifestyle ranges from growing our own vegetables and eating within the seasons, to changing which scents we surround ourselves with as the seasons change.
These quotes are a small, joyful, part of our commitment to lean into the season at hand.

John Lubbock
"Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colours in a parched landscape..."
