It’s August, meaning it’s the last month of the summer holidays. And while the kids still have a few weeks of freedom left, it’ll be back-to-school season before we know it.
As a kid, the beginning of August sometimes felt like you were on borrowed time. Though we still had a month of school-free weekdays to go, we thought about what we had done in our summer so far and what we still wanted to do before heading back to the books.
To our credit, there was quite a lot we managed to fit in those eight-or-so weeks of freedom. From playing in the street or on the green 'til way past your normal bedtime to swimming in seawater you’d freeze in at any other time of year, some of our most cherished memories occurred in the summer.
