The End of Summer

Luckily for me, I work in a primary school so still get to enjoy the 6 weeks holidays. However, it's my last day of the holidays today and I shall be returning to work tomorrow.

In Derby, at the end of every summer there is a concert held in the park. Nearly everyone goes to it and throughout the day that it is held I see so many people heading towards the park with deck chairs, blankets and picnics. I absolutely love it.

Every year there is a different theme to the music, which this year was 'Time'..I can't say I particularly enjoy the music they play (mainly because it's all classical..which is the complete opposite of what I like but I can't imagine all the old people of Derby enjoying sitting in the park listening to Fall Out Boy or My Chemical Romance really..) but it's just such a nice atmosphere.

I went last night with my friends and we had a really good relaxed evening sitting, eating our picnic, (which was a little measly compared to some of the others) and enjoying some cider.

At the end of the evening there is a firework display,(I would post a picture of them, but my photos make the fireworks look like wotsits) I have been going to this concert every year and still get a little emotional at the fireworks because, for me, they really do signify the end of the summer and the fact that my closest friends will all be heading off to different cities for their second year of University.


All in all it was a lovely evening with some of my favourite people :)
