Being Midsummer's Day ...

Now, here's a conundrum ...
21st June is the summer solstice when Pagans celebrate sunrise at Stonehenge ...



Summer, according to Carol, begins on the 1st day of June ...



Astronomically, however, summer BEGINS on 21st June.
So, why do we refer to 21st June as 'midsummer's day'?
Discussion was inconclusive, so we just got on with music.

Paul opened with a song about a celestial body ...


I won't have to cry no more.

There are those who sing their own songs.
There are those who borrow music from others.
Then there are those who commit the mortal sin of parody ...


Lord Franklin was surprised by the icy
conditions in Milton Keynes!

Twice we commemorated a famous battle of 1815 ...


The Duke of Wellington at Waterloo
(Robert Alexander Hillingford, 1828 – 1904.)

Bryan poetically expressed some dissatisfaction with the state of the nation ...


SHAMBLES!

For the benefit of those unfortunate enough to have missed their very successful concert tour, Angela, Paul and Roger gave several performances ...


Are you missing me?

Then we went home ...
... and joy be with you all!
