The actual solstice is 23.03 on the 21st. We are having 8 folk for dinner and it is my birthday too so it will be a very busy day.
The sun starts to get higher in the sky on the 23rd. and hen the return of lighter nights. It is dark here when the school kids get out of school at 3.30 so many mums will be relieved.
I love the Solstice and all the surrounding festivities but I do yearn for a little more light
