What our advertisers say...

On recently opening a new showroom in Cheltenham I started to advertise in the Cheltenham Magazine along with a few others, I can honestly say the Cheltenham magazine is the only one that has shown results with enquiries. We use tracking numbers on all our adverts so we know which ones work.

Getting More Done in a Day

Soon we are going to be having a National Stress Awareness Day. I wonder if this day is to make us aware of stress and if we haven’t got any perhaps we should go out and get some. Seriously, stress and pressure can be okay if it is managed as it helps us to new levels of performance.

If it is not managed it can become a nasty serious illness that requires expert medical treatment which I am not qualified to discuss. Surely, prevention is far better than the cure.

The three biggest causes of stress at work are: 1. The mismanagement of time.

People being not trained how to manage their time, unable to prioritise and not having a system that reminds them of what should be done in a day.

2. People being given a new job, role or task and not being trained how to do it causes massive stress. They don’t perform the new job, role etc and then try to hide that they have not done it and distress follows.

3. Sheer work overload which is rare in the private sector but common in the public sector particularly when there is only a once a year appraisal. A really good manager or boss is appraising, guiding and helping people and most particularly watching for signs of stress and the inability to cope.

So let me address number one, time management. There are only 24 hours in a day so we cannot really manage time all we can do is manage ourselves to time.

Here is an easy three step technique to enable you to do just that.

1. At the end of the day write down all of the most important things you want to do or should do the next day.

2. Now number that list in order of importance. In other words the most important job becomes number one.

3. The following day go straight to number one and do it. Then on to number two and so on.

Yes this plan is incredibly simplistic but it is an outstandingly successful method of time management guaranteed to reduce stress.

If you only complete three tasks out of 20 they are of course the most important. Every day can become a day of achievement as against a day of mere activity AND you will be less stressed AND more motivated.

Happiness is a ticked off “to do” list.

Home & Interiors The Kings of Bling

The French kings of the 17th and 18th centuries had enormous influence on aristocratic interiors.

For elegance, luxury and splendour, look no further than the styles of Louis XIV, XV and XVI, writes Katherine Sorrell The year: 1681. The place: the royal court in France. And, according to King Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, who had assumed power two years earlier: ‘There is nothing that indicates more clearly the magnificence of great princes than their superb palaces

Page 8

and their precious furniture.’

The king was inspired to adapt a small hunting lodge just outside Paris, extend it, and fill it with jaw-droppingly splendid decoration and furnishings, all in order to glorify his monarchy. Its style was, of course, the most up-to-date possible, a new fashion known as Baroque - dramatically dazzling and opulent, epitomised by jewellike colours, large furniture in bulbous shapes, trompe l’oeil paintwork and glittering silver, gold and crystal to surprise and impress. The new palace was called Versailles.

The interior of Versailles, designed by Charles Lebrun, was filled with furniture made in specialist workshops by the finest native and foreign artisans. Proportioned for enormous rooms, pieces were carved and gilded in heavy, scrolling shapes, upholstered with velvet and brocade, and inlaid with exotic materials such as marble, silver, ivory, lapis lazuli and agate. There were fabrics woven with silver

or gold thread, lavish rugs and walls hung with tapestries or covered in marble or mirror.

Perhaps most extreme of all was the specially commissioned furniture and lighting made of silver. Every tiny detail of this grand, formal and ornate design had been considered. It was utterly magnificent, and immediately became the envy of every other court in Europe.

Fashions are forever changing, however, and, inevitably, there was a reaction against the monumental style of Baroque. By the turn of the 18th century Louis XIV was urging a ‘graceful and airy’ style on his granddaughter-inlaw. After his death in 1715 the court moved to Paris, where a less ceremonial lifestyle developed, with smaller rooms and lighter furniture. Known as Rococo (because shells and rocks – rocailles – featured so frequently), it was frivolous and exuberant, all delicate curves and asymmetrical lines while, overall, homes were arranged so as to be comfortable rather than impressive, colours soft and feminine, and patterns delicate. The typical Rococo home featured elaborate plasterwork and carved, painted and gilded wooden panels, walls hung with silk or hand-painted wallpapers imported from China, all reflected in ornamental mirrors.

Furniture often had a curving front and – most typically of all – cabriole legs.

Also known as Louis Quinze style, Rococo was at its height in France in the 1740s. Within a decade or so, however,

Making A Pest Of Themselves

by Pippa Greenwood They might be small but aphids (also widely known as greenfly and blackfly) can do an awful lot of damage to just about every plant in your garden - and greenhouse, conservatory and windowsill for that matter. They are one of the most common and widespread garden pests, with more than five hundred different species found in the United Kingdom alone.

Greenfly and blackfly vary massively in colour, from green or black to grey, yellow, pink, brown or kaki. The majority are about 2mm long Most damage is done throughout spring and summer but there are aphids feeding somewhere pretty well throughout the year. In sheltered parts of your garden, especially in the warmer counties or in greenhouses and conservatories, some can be found even during the cooler winter months. So what makes these tiny pests so successful and so damaging to our precious plants? The main reason is that they can breed rapidly and so their numbers build up incredibly fast and this is often done asexually or without need of a male. For much of the year females are predominant and

give birth to huge numbers of genetically identical offspring.

I always think of this as like a Russian doll – inside a female aphid there will be young aphid, and inside this there will be an aphid embryo. Later in the season male aphids may be produced and these then mate with the females.

The symptoms they cause vary, but include leaf yellowing or other brightly coloured discolouration, puckering, poor growth and stunting. As they feed on plants, aphids may transmit virus infections, so virus symptoms may develop too. The plant sap on which the aphids feed has an extremely high sugar content; in fact it is so sugary that the aphids cannot digest it all, so their excreta is very sticky and sugary. This is called ‘honeydew’ and you may have noticed it beneath aphid-infested plants such as lime trees or as a sticky layer on roses and other plants.

Because it is so sugary, honeydew attracts harmless black ‘sooty moulds’ which make the leaves look as if someone has sprinkled soot on them. As aphids increase in size they shed their skins and the cast skins are often easy to spot on host plants – they look rather like the

discarded pyjamas often seen on a teenager’s bedroom floor!

If you grow roses you’ll have discovered that there are several species of aphid which may attack them, often forming dense colonies on shoot tips, new leaf growth and flower buds. These aphids are mostly green, pinkish or yellowish in colour and up to 3mm long. There is usually a lot of honeydew followed by sooty mould, as well as stunting and distortion of the leaves.

If vegetables are more your thing then you may see the black bean aphid as it forms dense colonies especially at the shoot tips and beneath the leaves of broad beans in the spring, which causes weakening and a huge drop in the number of those tasty pods. It also attacks globe artichokes, dahlias, poppies and nasturtiums. In the spring the aphid feeds on Philadelphus and Viburnum.

If you pinch out the aphidencrusted shoot tips on beans the problem is often solved.

Another common one is the woolly aphid which attacks apple trees and is also often seen on ornamental Malus such as crab apples,

pyracantha and cotoneaster.

Colonies of the aphid covered with white, waxy, fluffy fibres develop on the bark, especially near pruning cuts on older stems, or on younger stems where they also cause swellings on the stem. Another common problem on fruit is the currant Blister Aphid, a small, pale green aphid which feeds beneath the leaves, mostly of redcurrants, with pale yellow or reddish blisters forming in spring and summer.

It is pretty well impossible to garden without aphids causing some grief – I for one have never managed it. So what can you do? There are a number of different ways that you can reduce aphid numbers in your garden or greenhouse. Encouraging naturally occurring predators such as blue tits, ladybirds,

hoverflies and lacewings will all help. In some situations it is also worth introducing biological controls and these work especially well in an enclosed area such as a greenhouse or conservatory but will often have a noticeable effect in warmer summers outside too. Aphid predators such as the larva of the midge Aphidoletes and even ladybirds, can all be purchased, as can the tiny parasitic wasp Aphidius.

Ladybirds (available as native British ladybird adults or as their young or larvae from my website, www. pippagreenwood.com) are perfect for using on aphid outbreaks anywhere in the garden from pots and borders to hanging baskets and hedges. The great thing with these is that, once

established they will start to breed, multiply and add to the natural ladybird population.

There are a number of different chemicals (including organic or ‘green’ ones such as those based on fatty acids or plant oils) available for controlling aphid pests too, but not all are suitable for use on every plant, so check the label carefully before buying or using, and always follow the instructions carefully.

Visit Pippa’s website www. pippagreenwood. com for ladybirds and other biocontrols to control greenfly, Nemaslug, brilliant weeders, pop-up crop covers, copper tape and lots more besides.

The Big Top Roll up, roll up! June’s a time for carnivals, fetes and of course, the circus is coming to town. Whether these travelling entertainers bring joy or terror to the towns they visit, it’s all ‘fair’ game as far as we’re concerned, and it’s made for some great novels.

Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen Newly-orphaned scholar Jacob Jankowski decides to kiss his old life goodbye and skip town, hopping on a passing freight train. It turns out to be the travelling Benzini Brothers and their Flying Squadron, billed as ‘the most spectacular show on earth’.

Bedazzled by the glitz and glamour of the big top and the circus performers, Jacob falls head over heels in love with someone he definitely shouldn’t and he soon finds out that carrying on the affair could be the most risky of death-defying acts.

Something Wicked This Way Comes - Ray Bradbury Thirteen year olds James Nightshade and William Halloway find they have the unenviable task of saving the souls of everyone in their Midwestern town after a ‘dark carnival’ arrives. Can the best friends overcome the mysterious and evil ‘Mr Dark’ who is casting a spell over the local community, tempting them with their deepest, darkest secret desires? It’s a gripping novel that combines fantasy and horror. Should we fear what lurks in the shadows, or embrace it?

The Carnivorous Carnival - Lemony Snicket One for the Young Adult agegroup now and if you haven’t read any of Lemony Snicket’s offerings then you really must.

The Carnivorous Circus is the ninth novella in the series and follows the continuing exploits of the orphaned Baudelaire children who are trying to escape from the clutches of the evil Count Olaf. In this instalment, the intrepid and inventive children must disguise themselves as circus freaks to hide in amongst the acts of the Caligari Carnival.

Prepare for much craziness and mayhem…and baby Sunny in a beard.

A Son of the Circus - John Irving Not what you’d call ‘classic Irving’ but brilliant none the less, this tale of serial killings, twins separated at birth, class differences and even a dwarf chauffeur will have you wondering who on earth ‘dunnit’ in the bustling Indian city of Mumbai. It has a pretty intricate plot-line and a fantastic cast of colourful characters designed to cause confusion and intrigue in the mind of the reader. The Great Blue Nile circus features heavily but the story twists and turns like some great, rolling river and you’ll get totally washed away by it.

Full Tilt - Neal Shusteman If you thought carnivals were all merry-go-rounds and candy floss, think again. Sixteen year old Blake’s got himself in a right pickle: he’s chased his thrill-seeking brother Quinn into a carnival that’s free to get into, but could cost you your life to get out of. Blake finds he’s locked in a terrifying game where he must survive seven deadly sins before dawn.

Blake must face his own inner demons and deep-seated fears to save his and his brother’s souls. It’s a terrible notion but a tantalising read.

Carnival - Rawi Hage ‘Fly’ is a taxi-driver who was born in a circus and grew up surrounded by clowns, acrobats and all manner of performing folk who inhabit such worlds. As he drives his cab across the city he spends his life picking up and dropping of all of life’s curious creatures. From drug dealers to prostitutes, he comes across all manner of debauched and depraved characters, causing Fly to muse that ‘the world is a carnival’. How wonderful, freaky and colourful it is.

Golden Years Memories of 50 Years Ago by Ted Bruning and trying to curry favour with the young.

Quite a few middle-class breakfasts must have been ruined when the newspapers of 11th June 1965 were opened. For the news was truly shocking. The Beatles were to receive MBEs in the Birthday Honours List!

It’s difficult at this distance – and almost impossible for people who weren’t around at the time – to realise what a big deal this was. And if anything it seems comical that so many retired colonels sent their medals back to the Palace in disgust.

What blimps these outraged fuddy-duddies must have been, we think today; and the apocalyptic language with which they expressed their horror – the Beatles were “vulgar numbskulls”, snarled one; Britain would fall “even deeper into international ridicule and contempt”, howled another; and the word “debased” appeared over and over again – makes them seem even more so.

As for the newly-elected Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who had put the Fab Four up for their gongs, he was vilified as subverting the honours system

But how wrong those criticisms were, for this was not an act of subversion, but of absorption.

The Beatles had become hugely successful dollar earners, with nine US number one singles and four US number one albums to their credit so far, as well as the creation of an enormous American market for other British acts; and that made them part of the Establishment and entitled to all the honours that came with it.

The Beatles themselves sensed this and seem to have been uneasy over it. John Lennon reportedly worried about being seen as a sell-out and had to be talked into accepting his MBE by Brian Epstein; and the Lovable Moptops famously tried to make a pantomime of their investiture that October, turning up in John’s psychedelic RollsRoyce, wearing unconventional suits, smoking a joint in the Palace loos (later and rather unconvincingly denied), and trying (and failing) to banter with the Queen.

Four years later John confirmed that he had never been happy with the whole business when he returned his medal – without a trace of irony! – in protest at Britain’s involvement in the Vietnam and Biafran wars. So

perhaps it was the shocking headlines of 11th June 1965 and the events that followed that spurred the Beatles into escaping from the curse of light entertainment – of Saturday morning children’s TV shows, of guest slots on Lulu (or, worse, a show of their own), of Royal Command Performances, of touring unto exhaustion. Once “Help!” was finished later that year they put the three-minute love-songs (albeit the superior and beautifully crafted threeminute love-songs) of the first half of the career behind them and started exploring their talent in earnest.

And then Brian Epstein died; and although his death was tragically untimely (and although he was no showbiz monster to compare with the likes of Larry Parnes or Simon Cowell) it did finally complete the process that had started at Buckingham palace of freeing the Beatles from the light entertainment treadmill that had ruined so many of their great contemporaries – notably Dusty Springfield – and left them with nothing to do but create. So perhaps, ultimately, we have Harold Wilson to thank for The White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be.

Happy 50tH BirtHdays to Damien Hirst (7th), Elizabeth Hurley (10th), and Garry Pallister (30th).

Cake and botox to you all!

Taking Back

CONTROL Rachel Berry (DHP MAPHP MAAMET MNRPC) is a highly qualified complementary therapist offering a wide range of therapies to help overcome a variety of issues: Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP),Talk Therapy, Reiki - healing for people, animals and equines.

She also runs Reiki healing courses.

Hypnotherapy

is a very safe and natural therapy.

Hypnosis is a totally natural state which most people experience several times a day unconsciously.

Hypnotherapy can help you to release repressed feelings and negative beliefs that restrict your ability to achieve your potential to live life to the full. Many people have experienced positive changes in their life, as a result of having used hypnosis in order to change unwanted or limiting behaviours.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

is a form of energy psychology (known as “tapping”) and works on the same principles as acupuncture, working with the meridians (energy pathways in the body) without the use of needles. EFT is very powerful and can relieve both emotional and physical problems. It can help reduce strong emotions such as fear, anger, shame and sadness,

which can dissolve into clear thinking, enabling a fresh view and the ability to move forwards and get on with life. According to Gary Craig, the founder of EFT “the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system”. By tapping on a series of acupressure points, EFT helps to balance the body’s energy system and restore positive flow. EFT and Hypnotherapy complement each other because once the negative charge has been eliminated positive suggestions can be powerfully reinforced using hypnotherapy. EFT is a simple and empowering technique that Rachel can teach so that you, as a client, can use it confidently at home for self-help.

When you start tapping, it can quickly help reduce anxiety and enable you to feel much calmer.

Reiki Healing

(pronounced “Ray-key”)... is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy which is all around us. It is a powerful holistic healing system that treats the whole being, addressing problems and healing at all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself and restore balance in one’s life. Reiki can help when you feel emotionally out of balance, stressed or anxious or you are getting poor sleep.

It can help reduce side effects

of chemotherapy or radiation therapy and pre and post-surgery to increase healing and recovery.

It is a very powerful yet gentle and deeply relaxing therapy.

Rachel also works with the terminally ill, visiting nursing homes and hospices, as there can usually be a great benefit and enhancement of the quality of life in giving a sense of peace and acceptance during the time remaining. Rachel is a Reiki Master/Teacher and runs courses in Reiki healing.

Reiki Training Courses

An opportunity to help yourself and others to experience good health and well-being, helping to reduce the stress of daily working life. Groups are kept small and informal ensuring that each student can receive individual attention. A comprehensive manual is provided along with a certificate upon successful completion of the course.

Equine & Animal Reiki Healing

Rachel has extended her vast Reiki knowledge and expertise to work with all types of animals including horses. Reiki can help an equine/animal in numerous ways by keeping them in good emotional, physical and mental health which in turn keeps them balanced. Animals, like humans, can become ill when emotional matters have not been resolved or

Cake and Bake Vanilla and Chocolate Panna Cotta This velvety smooth, vanilla flavoured Italian set cream is simple to make but tastes divine. For a less rich dessert replace half the double cream with full-fat milk.

Ingredients: • 600ml double cream • 2 tsp vanilla extract • 2 pared strips of lemon rind • 55g caster sugar • 1 x 12g sachet powdered gelatine • 50g good quality dark chocolate, finely grated • Chocolate dipped strawberries, to serve (see TIP)

Serves 4 Ready in 30 mins, plus cooling and setting time

1. Place the cream, vanilla extract, lemon rind and caster sugar in a pan and bring slowly to the boil. Remove from the heat.

2. Meanwhile place 4 tbsp of boiling water in a small heatproof cup or jug and sprinkle over the powdered gelatine. Leave for a few minutes until spongy then stir until dissolved. If the gelatine doesn’t completely dissolve, heat in the microwave on Full Power for a few seconds or sit the cup or jug in a pan of gently simmering water and stir until completely clear. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.

3. Stir a little of the hot cream into the gelatine mixture then stir back into the rest of the cream. Leave the mixture to cool for 30 minutes. Remove the strips of lemon rind and pour the mixture into four individual 150ml pudding basins. Place on a tray and chill in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight until set.

4.To serve, dip each pudding basin into a bowl of hot water for a few seconds then turn out onto a serving plate. Sprinkle the grated chocolate over each panna cotta and decorate with a sprig of mint or lemon balm. Serve with the chocolate dipped strawberries.

TIP

To make the chocolate dipped strawberries, pick firm ripe strawberries and use a good quality dark chocolate (one with at least 50% cocoa solids). Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir until smooth. Holding each strawberry by the green calyx, dip into the melted chocolate then shake to allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the dipped strawberries onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and leave in a cool place until the chocolate has set. Serve on day of dipping.

Finance Saving for Children What are the Best Options?

By Ann Haldon Children’s savings accounts provide a great way to build a nest egg for later life, perhaps for driving lessons or to fund a gap year, and are a good way to introduce the subject of money management.

We look at three savings options below that could be ideal for your child. These are products that incorporate a range of features and benefits, including tax-free status, instant access, and longer savings terms.

So let’s start with a product that was first introduced in 2011:

Junior ISAs

Junior ISAs are available to children under the age of 18 who don’t already have a Child Trust Fund. New legislation has recently been introduced to allow the transfer of monies from a Child Trust Fund into a Junior ISA, however, and this is due to take effect from April 2015.

The contribution limit for a Junior ISA is £4,080 for the 2015-16 tax year, and there are two types of account available: • Cash Junior ISA: offering tax-free interest and instant access • Stocks and Shares Junior ISA: cash is invested in stocks and shares, with no tax paid on dividends or capital growth Children are entitled to open one of each of these accounts, and although

parents or guardians can open and manage them, the money belongs to the child.

Withdrawals by children are not allowed until they turn 18, but they can manage their own accounts when they reach 16 years of age.

The Junior ISA will be in the child’s name, but parents and guardians opening the account are the ‘registered contacts’ as far as the bank or building society is concerned.

NS&I Children’s Bonds

These are tax-free investments that run for a 5-year term. They can be purchased by a parent, guardian, grandparent or great grandparent on behalf of a child, and each ‘issue’ has its own guaranteed rate of interest which is paid at the end of the term.

The minimum investment amount for these Bonds is £25, with £3,000 being the maximum amount allowed per issue.

Interest is calculated daily and added to the account each year, so that the child also benefits from compound interest.

Children’s Savings Accounts

These types of account can be opened with as little as £1, with most bank and building societies offering at least one savings account for children.

In most cases money can be withdrawn with no notice.

Once a child reaches the

age of seven they may be able to manage the account themselves, which is a great way for them to learn how to deal with their money.

There are two different types of children’s savings accounts, and you can open more than one: • Easy access: the interest rate will probably be lower with an easy or instant access account, but money can be withdrawn or deposited with no restrictions. These accounts are popular with children as many of them offer free gifts, including piggy banks and toys.

• Regular savings: interest rates will be slightly higher for this type of account, but money is not accessible and you need to make regular monthly deposits into the account. If any payments are missed you may suffer a reduction of interest.

Which savings account you choose for your child depends on your own circumstances.

The Junior ISA has proven to be very popular, and the new legislation regarding transfer of monies from a Child Trust Fund to a Junior ISA opens up the product to more people. https://www.gov.uk/juniorindividual-savings-accounts/ open-an-account http://www.nsandi.com/ childrens-bonds

Tewkesbury Borough welcomes new Mayor Councillor Ron Allen was invested as Mayor of the Borough of Tewkesbury at a ceremony held at Winchcombe School last month.

More than 120 guests welcomed the new mayor at the event, including family and friends and local dignitaries.

Ron's borough colleague, Cllr Mrs Elaine MacTiernan, is his mayoress, and his Chaplain is the Reverend Wendy Ruffle, the Minister for Prior's Park, in the benefice of Tewkesbury Abbey.

Ron has lived in Gretton for 41 years, in the Winchcombe area he represents as a borough councillor.

Ron, who has been a councillor for 20 years, said: "I am honoured to

be elected as mayor of the borough of Tewkesbury for 2015/16, and look forward to an eventful and exciting year ahead.

My aim will be to raise the profile of the borough where possible, and to encourage publicity and support for my chosen charities through the events and occasions I shall attend during my year as Mayor."

During his year, the mayor will be supporting two charities the local branch of the Trussell Trust and also Lupus UK.

Garden waste customers encouraged to renew online Residents who are signed up to Tewkesbury Borough Council’s garden waste scheme are being reminded to renew their subscriptions online.

Tewkesbury Borough Council has just issued around 4000 renewal letters to garden waste customers, and wants to highlight how convenient and quick it is to renew online.

Following the ceremony, Cllr Gill Blackwell was also invested as Deputy Mayor of Tewkesbury Borough.

for some people and by making its services available online means its customer services advisors are available for those that need to communicate over the phone or face-to-face.

Tewkesbury Borough Council’s Group Manager for Corporate Services said: “Encouraging our residents to use our services online is a priority for us – not only does it save the council money, it is much more convenient for our customers as they can do it at a time of day that suits them. All you need to do is visit www.tewkesbury.gov. uk/doitonline.”

Customers just need to visit www.tewkesbury.gov.uk/doitonline at a time that suits them, and fill in the simple form.

The garden waste scheme costs just £39.50 per year – and anyone wishing to sign up to it as a new customer can join online too.

Paying council tax, reporting anti-social behaviour, and applying for car park permits are just some of the other examples of the self-service options already available on the council's website.

Importantly, the council understands that sometimes going online may not be easy

'Cleeve Hill Business Over Breakfast Club' Celebrates First Birthday Happy 1st birthday to the 'Cleeve Hill Business Over Breakfast Club'.

The Bristol Grandparents Support Group is a national charity that covers all of the UK and beyond.

It is estimated that over one million children in the UK are denied contact with their grandparents due

to family breakdown.

Family breakdown can occur for a variety of reasons - it can be as a result of separation or divorce, drug and alcohol dependancy, domestic violence within the home, bereavement or a family feud.

As a result of losing contact myself I, Jane, have founded the Bristol Grandparents

Support Group which offers support over the phone, via email, Skype and in regular meetings.

Grandparents need to know they are not alone and that we are here to support them!

Summer Solstice Summer Solstice (sometimes also referred to as Midsummer) falls between June 21st-22nd, and celebrates the longest day and shortest night of the year, the sun reaching its highest point in the northern hemisphere, and the very pinnacle of summer-time.

Midsummer is celebrated with a variety of different traditions and celebrations around the world – and indeed around our own country, with parties commonly held from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to the Cornish coast, and in particular at Stonehenge, where tens of thousands gather every year for an all-day festival, watching the sun rise early on 21st June and celebrating the longest day with everything from quiet observations to full-on festivities.

The lighting of bonfires often forms a big part of the culture, celebrating the burning light of the sun and mirroring it, a tradition stemming from pagan and Celtic roots.

In addition to having huge Pagan significance, the solstice is relevant too to some branches of Buddhism and those who practice Yoga, in which Sun Salutations often play an important role and the sun is something very much worthy of reverence.

The solstice can be explained by the angle of the earth’s axis, the tilt of which is the reason we experience our four seasons each year. When the axis tilts towards the sun during the summer months we know here in the UK, winter is of course in the southern hemisphere, rotating entirely by the time we reach the opposite end of the year.
