First and foremost, I loved your description of seasonal change! (Used to have a small orchard when I lived in New England)
I live in Florida in the USA where summer temps appear about the beginning of May (Ripening of Peaches). In this heat (90 degrees F) I spend a lot less time working on woodworking projects (NON A/C workshop) and switch to working on kilt resizing and repairs...in the A/C of the house until the weather moderates again in October.

I wear a kilt every day... mostly PV casual kilts in the heat.

Again thanks for your descriptions, brought back a lot of memories...
