Summers here in New England are a frantic time, wherein we attempt to compress 12 months of outdoor fun into 3 months of nice weather. (And of course by “nice” I mean, “oscillating between frigid, torrential rain and humid, 100+ degree heat”.) I’ve never been to Old England, but I can only assume the weather there…
