Summer Solstice


Today, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.


I just heard on the news that sunrise over Stonehenge this morning was quite an event, with Druid ceremonies, music, Morris dancing and much merriment. However, overcast skies obscured the sun, so it was not as spectacular as was expected.


Well I suppose it's all down hill from now on. Next month is July; therefore we will be seeing adverts for 'Book early for Christmas'. How depressing. Why can't we enjoy the seasons, enjoy what is here now, not start planning Christmas in July. All this means is that by the time it comes around everyone is thoroughly fed up with it.
