I see this fella is around to remind you all to keep quiet and bully you into silence.


As for summer, the months are May,June July as Polar noon/midsummer falls on the June Solstice in the Northern hemisphere. The Americans won't understand this unless they adopt the Celtic year which divides the year into the dark half and the light half where the dark half begins on November 1st or Samhain and its contemporary equivalent of Halloween. The light half begins May 1st.
