We went in search of the sun today. It is after all the Summer Solstice – the day with the most hours of sunshine. But we didn’t see a lot of it.
The sun decided to play hide-n-seek!!!
But we did go to the park to meet Marley –
and together we went in search for it.
Marley had a good idea – she thought maybe the sun will be amongst the tall grass.
But definitely not under the trees, guys!
And definitely not in the Ladies toilet in the park!
Oh look! Georgie and Marley – you’re in the shade. If you look behind you – there’s some sun!
Mummy did wake up at sunrise and as sunlight came through our window, she said – “Hello, sun!” and then fell asleep again. She had told us that she had ideas on what to do on this longest day of the year – to make the full use of it. We knew it would never happen.
But we did commemorate this day at sundown …
While the sun was still playing peek-a-boo behind clouds, with some vino at Maze Grill!
They love us there!
May’s comment: Learnt that Summer Solstice comes from the Latin solstitium meaning ‘sun stands still’ – because the sun heading north, stops at the Tropic of Cancer before returning southwards.
This also mean that from today- the nights will start to get longer and the days will become shorter. Sigh! Seasons come and go so fast.
But till then, enjoy the elusive British Summer! It’s coming!
