Saturday, 21 June, marks the Summer Solstice, or midsummer, when the longest day of the year is celebrated and summer officially begins.

It’s when the sun reaches its northernmost position as seen from Earth, before moving southwards and bringing in the longer nights.

The Summer Solstice allows us to enjoy more than 16 hours of sunshine a day in the UK. How will you make the most of this year’s event before the days start getting shorter from 22 June…

Catch the sunrise

You could welcome midsummer by setting your alarm to rise early and soak up the hot, sunny weather that is predicted for much of the UK on 21 June 2025. Take the dog for a walk, cycle a new route or salute the sun with early-morning yoga to start the day on a high.

Light a fire

Whether you’re celebrating at home or in your garden, lighting a few tea lights or your favourite scented candles will set the midsummer mood as fire is an important part of the event for warding off mischievous spirits, according to some traditions. If you want to go bigger, you could have your own bonfire after sunset. Just make sure you check for hedgehogs in your log pile before you start.

In Norse and Celtic traditions, bonfires were lit to honour the sun at its peak and to offer protection and purification.

Meditate in the morning

Ancient marvels like Stonehenge, Egypt's magnificent Great Pyramid of Giza, and the iconic step pyramid of Chichen Itza, Mexico, were all built to align with the rising (or setting) Summer Solstice sun.

If you want to create your own rituals during these compelling moments, why not try meditating or journaling as the sun rises or sets on the longest day of the year.

My two brothers and I are lucky enough to still have "the old man" as we call him, in our lives and we all love to celebrate him on this special day.
Happy Fathers Day to our Dad and to all of the very special people who step up into the role of being a father and positive role model. Wishing you a wonderfully indulgent day, you deserve it xx

I can hardly believe we're already in June. It has certainly crept up on us, hasn't it?

As it's the month that we celebrate the longest day and the beginning of summer, let's hope for some lovely sunshine to warm our faces.

June is also Pride Month. Do you do anything to celebrate? Does your workplace honour or acknowledge Pride as part of its inclusivity and diversity? I'd love to hear how and what you all get up to.

June is also when we celebrate and pay tribute to the special people in our lives who have acted as our father figures. I'm lucky enough to have always had my lovely Dad in my life, supporting me and cheering me on, also taking the mickey and getting on my nerves at times lol, but then I suppose that's part of their job, eh? So I'm going to honour and celebrate him by taking him out somewhere nice for a meal and treating him to an Aromatherapy Massage, blending oils such as Turmeric, Ginger and Orange to help with pain and inflammation in his joints. What are you doing to treat your special person this month, or even yourself? If you're looking for gifts (Father's Day or otherwise) you can buy gift cards here: www.thepixieretreat.co.uk/gift-card
