Mid Winter can often get by-passed in the last minute dash to Christmas. The shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere is quite magical. Shafts of Mid Winter light penetrating the darkest corners of Newgrange come to mind.
In Summertime a Dinner Party can be a lighter affair. Just fruit and cream for desert. Lots of tasting platers insead of large plates of food. It can be quite casual with time in the longer evenings to linger at the table.
Sometimes it is the end of Spring that holds most promise. The blossoms on the fruit trees wishing us abundance. Just a few rays of sunshine in April start those Summer Vibes tunning up.
