Summary

The eighth month of the Gregorian calendar brings summer to a close, at least on our calendars. Nature will continue with her wise and infinite ways regardless of our need to keep a count of where we expect her to be.   
 
Summer with its heat, its holidays has a lung-bursting capacity to energise our thoughts, our ambitions and our contentment.
