Right everyone into their pagan costumes and off to Stonehenge for a bit of sacrifice (party starts at 3am)... do daffodils count for sacrifice? ;D

Did someone say Stonehenge? This is where I came in. ::) ;D

Here's a sobering thought. From now on it's all downhill until Christmas. :o

I've seen documentrys that show that Stonehenge traps the light of the Winter solstice far better than the summer one.

Yup, definatley the longest day. Sun didn't go down till 10:15. A friend in Alaska says the sun goes down at 11:30 and is down for only a few hours!  8)

In Iceland you can have perpetual daylight this time of year, the sun just revolves around the sky but never actually sets. Weird to have daylight at 3 am!

Well Ozzy,
if you come to Inverness you'll get something near that. I awaoke at 4:00 am this morning and it was like noon day. at 1:00am it was dark, the street lights were on, but there was still light. ::) I think we have 24hours of at least some light, even if it is only a bit on the horizon.

Ben :)
