This year we had a drummer to drum up the sun (behind the clouds) at Hilly Fields stone circle in southeast London. It may be modern but it’s still a stone circle right. Wherever you are, happy solstice! Hooray for the return of the light.

Small afternoon rant: we need to stop talking about the ocean in terms of “secrets” & “mystery”. That tends to be an excuse for not actually looking at its wonderful (known) richness properly. It’s not a void… it’s a fascinating physical part of Planet Earth. We know a lot and we will know more! 🌊
