  • Today marks the Summer Solstice ☀️ — the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. It has been celebrated for thousands of years as a moment of abundance, light, growth and gratitude 🌿🌾

    A time to pause and appreciate the beauty of the season — from fertile soil and flourishing gardens to shared meals and the rhythm of nature 🌸🐝

    On the longest day, the world feels bright,
    A garden held in golden light ✨
    Cows graze gently, hens scratch near,
    Bees hum softly, summer is here 🐄🐓🐝

    Courgettes hide beneath leaves of green,
    Sweet peas climb where the sun has been 🌱
    The flowers dance in the sea-salt breeze,
    And birdsong drifts through the trees 🌸🌊🐦

    In the kitchen, pans softly sing,
    With herbs and strawberries, taste takes wing 🍓🌿
    There’s joy in all that hands prepare,
    And wonder waits everywhere 🍳

    So on this solstice, bright and long,
    We greet the day with thanks and song 🎶
    For soil and seed, for sun and sea,
    For all the beauty we can see 🌞🌍💚

    Wishing you a beautiful Solstice filled with light, warmth and gratitude.2d
