Freedom is a sunny day

TENNIS lovers will flock to Wimbledon come rain or shine, but millions of us are yearning for sunny skies and bona fide barbecue weather.

We long for that wonderful summer feeling when you can sit back in the garden without fearing you are about to get very wet. It would be utterly lovely if the sweet return of much-missed freedoms in the coming weeks coincided not with drizzle but with splendid weeks of sunshine.
