summer solstice

nonu Just because today is the longest day and from now on the days will get gradually shorter does not mean that summer is dwindling too. The sun has been warming the ground in our half of the world, and that heat is still there, influencing the weather, which is often better and warmer that the earlier summer days. July and August will be at least as warm and sunny as June, and the ripening crops will be soaking up the heat. Don't be sad, enjoy the summer and stock up on vitamin D in the sunshine.

ANA what else is new ?

Elegran that has cheered me , you are so right, I will take comfort from that.

So lovely to speak to you all again !!!!

Have just watched an interesting programme about Stonehenge on BBC2!

Me too. Very interesting as you say, but the police violence in the 80s was shocking

Yes, I saw it too. The police were rather heavy-handed, weren't they?

I saw that. Horrendous violence.
I remember the Battle of the Beanfield. Immortalised by the Levellers in 'Levelling the Land'...

Of course that was when Thatcher was PM.

Wasn't it horrific? And there was no investigation either. Think what would happen today - we have come on a bit, I suppose...and yes, it was in Thatcher's time!
