After 20 hours of continuous rain it's great to get 'That summertime feeling' again.
On 2 August 1994 the Royal Mail issued a set of 5 stamps entitled 'The Four Seasons. Summertime. Events.'
Unfortunately I have only three of them.

The 19p stamp on the left is of the Royal Welsh Show at Llanelwedd.
The 30p and the 35p stamps that I do not have show yachting from Cowes Week and the cricket Test Match from Lords.

shows the Highland Games at Braemar.

Wimbledon is certainly the event I associate with summer. Although I don't think any spectators get quite that close to the court these days :)
Pity you don't have the yachting at Cowes. So very English. Love the stamps you do have. Still watch Wimbledon here but not with the devotion I used to have when I lived in the UK.
Yep, you've given me those summer-time-feelings! Nice stamps Bob.
I really love this issue. I have the Welsh Show and the cricket at Lords as PHQ cards.
...wishing you a happy Sunday :O)
Nice when the sun shows up for an event. I liked the seasons series of stamps.
These definitely say summer! Pity about all the rain. We had very hot temps last week (40C with humidity). I was melting. Some rain would have been a welcome different sort of dampness.
