although the heat may say otherwise… Today is officially the first of of summer, Summer Solstice. The Sun reaches it’s highest position in the sky and it’s the longest day of the year (hopefully you’re having a good day!!?) - we should all make the most of it!

Interesting fact: Perhaps the most enduring modern ties with Summer Solstice were the Druids’ celebration of the day as the “wedding of Heaven and Earth”, resulting in the present day belief of a “lucky” wedding in June.
