Sunday 21st June 2026 here in the UK, and many other countries, we celebrate Father's Day. It is usually held on the third Sunday of June and is a day to honour fathers and father figures, such as grandfathers and fathers-in-law. Many people make a special effort to visit their fathers or to send them a card or gifts. More information can be read here

Sunday 21st June 2026 (in the Northern Hemisphere) is the summer solstice. Yes it is the longest day of the year, meaning the day with the most hours of daylight. The picture above shows Stonehenge, long associated with the solstice, and you can read more about its history and story here

ReplyDeleteLast night for dessert my sister—in-law, with whom we are staying on Vancouver Island, made a decadent chocolate brownie cake. It wasn’t for Father’s Day, but it will do!
ReplyDeleteHappy Solstice and to the dad's reading, Happy Father's Day. That lemon looks wonderful.
