“All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer… one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends, and delightful doing, come as near perfection as anything can come in this world.” – L.M. Montgomery
It’s hard to disagree with L.M. Montgomery’s sentiment. Summer, for many, is the happiest season of the year, a time to savour everything good life has to offer: longer and warmer days, ripe fruit, moments with friends and family.
