Summer officially started yesterday!!!!
I made a mistake. I was about to tell you that today is the summer solstice, but if I were to say that I would be wrong for yesterday was the longest day and officially marked midsummer.
“This year’s summer solstice takes place a day earlier than it’s been for the past three years, due to the fact that 2012 is a leap year—this February got an extra day, to keep our calendar year of 365 days in sync with the astronomical year, which is about 365.24 days.”

May I suggest a motto for summer 2012:
Let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions louder than your words.

Festivals on both sides of the Atlantic
If you are planning a visit to the Kingdom this summer, please plan your trip to coincide with our Week of Welcomes. New events are being added all the time. Danny Russell is planning a Family and Gardens Festival on the same weekend with Dog Show, Talent Competition and garden visits. I’ll bring you more details of this as soon as they are available .
Meanwhile, take a look again at NKRO’s lineup and contact us if you are interested in any or all of the events.
