We don't get a lot of fantastic weather in the UK, which is why when we get some we tend to try to make the most of it. Sometimes we get a longer summer, and with holiday allowances used up we have to think creatively how we can get outdoors. Here are a few ideas to help you do just that.

1. Run To or From Work

If you live just a few miles from the office, perhaps you have to drive there or take a bus or train to get in, and then you probably don't enjoy the commute at the best of times. It can be frustrating and sometimes when it's hot you end up sweating and becoming rather uncomfortable. However, if you have access to showers at or near work then you can run in, thereby getting some exercise, enjoying the early morning sun and feeling quite contented even by the time you get to the office. Often it can actually be quicker as well.

If you don't have shower facilities then you can always run home, thereby enjoying some of that sunshine and by having a shower when you get home it means you're set up nice and relaxed to enjoy your evening. Along with getting some more nice weather you also obviously get some good exercise too.

2. Get Into The Garden

Unless you're really dedicated then you probably don't enjoy gardening too much in the winter months and often it involved the less inspiring side of horticulture. However, by clearing away dead branches and leaves, as well as taking a full inventory of the state of play of your backyard you are free to plan in much better knowledge exactly what you want from your garden the following year and what you want to achieve.

3. Meet Friends Outside

In the winter it's always tempting to meet your friends in the pub or to go to the cinema, however, if you have a few extra months' sun then why not change location to the park or meet them in an outdoor café. It means you can enjoy both their company and the weather while saving some money with a supermarket carry-out. Surely a better option in every sense?

As you can see there are many ways to take advantage of an Indian summer and many things you can achieve if you get the chance: what will you do next time the summer months stretch longer?
