WE are almost in to August, but it looks like some summer weather has finally arrived.
So as schools break up until September and as we make the most of the current long-awaited warmer weather, we asked readers to finish a very important sentence.
“You know it’s the summer holidays in Warrington when…”
Here’s what they had to say:
You have to park on the back field at Walton Gardens.

Tenpin bowling is absolutely manic.
Louise Marsden
It rains every other day.
Kenny Hayes
Settees are out in the garden.
Greg Faulkner
IKEA café is like the school dinner hall.
Isaac Howard
When the pool and barbeques come out.
Kate Kelly
The shorts come out and so do the milk bottle legs and sandals with socks.

It only takes seven minutes to get to work via Bridge Foot (usually 15-20 minutes).

I can get out of the road I live down first thing in the morning.

The sun finally comes out for longer than a day.

You can’t get out of Riverside Retail Park.

Primark is packed out.
Clare Sewell
Us parents are already counting the down the days back to school in September.

The slightest bit of sun and men take their tops off.

The Riverside Retail Park queue is twice as long to get off the car park.
