You know what's great about the Summer? Bubbles. Bubbles are great when the sun is out. Bobs too - bobs are good all year 'round, but especially good when necks are showing. Backgammon is rubbish in the Summer - it's an Autumn sport and besides, who would name a game after a cut of meat? Polo - what came first, the sport, the sweet or the car... and how did water polo get invented? Did a load of toffs drown their horses by mistake? Did you know why Shetland ponies are so short? They have nothing to hide behind. If you've been to Shetland you'll understand. Shetland is great in the Summer - it's even lighter than here. Oh to be in Shetland watching someone with a bob blowing bubbles.
