My year has two rock solid highlights.
Firstly, my local Medieval Festival (because who doesn’t want to be a spectator for real live JOUSTING) and secondly the October weekend when the clocks go forward for daylight saving in my state.
Even with the mild jet lag and a child who refuses to go to bed on time, I rejoice in daylight savings because it means one thing — summer. Hallelujah.
Once the warmer weather sets in, I feel recharged, energized and ready for months upon months of good times and adventure. These are the reasons that the prospect of summer makes me hop from one foot to the other with glee:
1. The beach.
If you don’t love the beach, you may as well hang a sign around your neck that says: ‘Hi! I’m Un-Australian’.
There’s nothing like that sand-between-your-toes, cool-water-on-your-face feeling when you hit the beach for the first time since winter forced you into hibernation. Fresh breezes, ice-cream cones and fish and chips… what more could you want?

I'm un-Australian because I don't particularly like the beach and you're un-Australian because we don't call it a shrimp - it's a prawn!
