The Summer Solstice is now past; Midsummer and the Longest Day occurred a few days ago; as from last Sunday evening the days will now begin to grow shorter again as we beigin the very gradual descent towards harvest time, autumn and winter. Yes, I do​ know that we are currently in the middle of a heat wave and drought and that many of us haven't even had our summer holidays yet! But the fact remains that we are now half way through the year... so what better time to think about a little very​ early Christmas shopping? My book, 'Merry Midwinter' is the perfect gift for anyone and everyone, so why not pledge for several and relieve yourself of all that hassel?
