The Mid summer Solstice

Good afternoon ,on this longest day of the year ,The Midsummer soltice ,so that means the nights will begin to get dark a little bit earlier each night ,so tell me where has this year gone ?Is it really six months since Christmas ?when Iwas reading all your lovely journals and was so envoius of those of you putting lovely graphics on them !I made it my new year resolution to learn to do it myself .....and as its six months since Christmas ,it is also six months till the next one ...Ouch

Well England drew last night ,I dont know ,why I'm telling you this, because those of you that enjoy football ,already know !      I am looking forward to watching a programme tonight that is part of a series of four,the second part tonight is on BBC2  at nine o clock .Four women suffering a variety of personal crises  leave their everyday excistence behind ,to live as  nuns at the conventof the Poor Clares  in Arundel,they give up material possessions and normal routines for fourty days and nights,in a bid to learn whether the traditional values and practises of the sisterhood including seven services a day,can help them find a purpose to their existance,some of them struggled with the regime but some took to it  straight away,The nuns themselves made some interesting observations too ,'different shoes with each outfit' ! so its certainly a two way experiance ........Have a good day everyone ,With Love
