Are you imagining we are going to have one then - sadly deluded I fear !!

Stephen, you normally post a long list of definitions of the competition theme. Could you also do it for this month's competition as I don't quite understand the word!!

Hmmm, I though I might be in for a rough ride with the current theme!

After running Spring earlier this year I thought of Summer this month, Summer is a season not a weather condition therefore set by date not by any particular set of weather circumstances.

I have editted the thread start including the definition.
