In winter, we crave and savour even the tiniest bit of sun, and pot plants and laundry get shuttled around the patio to whatever tiny patch the sun is hitting at that moment. But come summer, the sun is our enemy. Plants wither, laundry and furniture fades and shrinks, and us fragile humans shrink away into the shadows.
