Okay not July but I don’t remember much about that month except starting college. That was one amazing summer!!, I was16 last summer between the end of childhood and knocking into adulthood, I busted my ankle on 13th June, finished my GCSE exams on 16th June and went to see Foo Fighters and supporting acts in Hyde Park on 17th June, it was Amazing, but it was one long hot summer, from the day I went to hyde park I still have sunburn scars at aged 32, (in a rush we left the sun screen in the car miles and miles away!!.) Maybe I see through rose tinted glasses just like the summer of 1995, I was only 5 then but I remember my first holiday and hot sunshine. So much more happened that summer 2006 I loved it and wish I could reverse time, weather wise I cannot pinpoint particular days other than days of exams and all fire doors being thrown open as it was so hot and everyone got free water.

I know this is 9 years old, but I discovered it whilst trying to find the temperature for the 17th June 2006 and since you asked for memories well here it goes, (17th June) the day I had a busted ankle but I was going to see Foo fighters in Hyde park no matter what! (My ankle never properly recovered twinges to this day). The day before the 16th I put my pen down in school for the last time having finished my final GCSE exam, those were some of the worst days ever so so so hot, Gymnasium doors pushed open and the same for the 2 school halls which luckily had Quadrangles at the sides. Bye yes me being me I had to fall down a hole 4 days before the best day of my life lol. So 85,000 people blistering hot I remember running for the underground and having a brand new white shirt on I have photos (hey it was the start of social media frenzy!!) of the burns as my dad left the cream miles and miles away from Hyde park. But that summer was so carefree the last time between being a kid and knocking into adulthood. Not only did I see Foos, Angels and airwaves, Juliette and the licks and Queens of the Stone Age and Lemmy and the remainder of Queen well music lovers will know why that summer was an amazing time for a 16 year old. (Ace of spades played for the first time in many many years). (Another time) For some reason I have a feeling it was 1995…I remember going to Devon and in my mind of being a five nearly six year old it was a bright hot summer but maybe that’s just childhood dreams lol.
