Happy Solstice

Happy Solstice everyone.
Happy Birthday Mum.

Bean has been asking me what we do on Solstice all week.
Does Santa arrive on Solstice?
Nope. No dear, but Solstice will still be fun. We’ll light candles and have a bonfire (must dig out firewood before dark) and in the morning we will wake up and watch the sunrise. First though, we have to call Granny.

Happy Birthday Granny. We just left you a particularly tuneful version of Happy Birthday on your answering machine. Love you.
