  Here's what we get up to in the depths of wildest Buckinghamshire ... Simon as you've never seen him before!

  Hey-ho, pass round the Mead
  we stand upon the equipoise
  chant naked, our ancient creed
  "To good times past and future joys!"
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  According to National Geographic you are a bit late Maggie.
  
  The 20th June was the longest day, earlier than normal. They did explain why on their website.

  I'd not heard that Barry, even on TV they said it was today. As I'm typing it's raining, thunder and lightening. Not a good summer for anyone.
  
  Excellant photo of Simon there Maggie.

  Why is Simon tending the bonfire naked?
  Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

  Even he isn't that brave!
  
  Yes, yesterday was the longest day, but the solstice was just a few minutes into today. The weather is certainly celebrating - rain in really heavy showers up here. I gather from the news that Stonehenge was some 6,000 people down on the normal celebrants this year, owing to the extreme sog.
  
  I still can't help wondering if there's something Simon hasn't told me ...
