Ok, flute out and Jethro Tull on the turntable. Here we go two, three, four ... "Now is the solstice of the year...." This song has been my 'go to' winter tune since I saw an animated version of it being introduced by Dave Lee Travis on Top of the Pops in 1976! (You can click the link to watch it!) Yay! It's the shortest day of the year so roll on summer and, even though we've got the worst of the winter to come, you can't help but get a lift from the thought that from today the nights will be getting shorter and good times are just over the horizon once again. I'm amazed a religion hasn't usurped the event and turned it to their own interests. What's that? They have? Oh, Christmas...
