The sixth month of the Gregorian calendar heralds a new season – Summer. Lengthening days, Sunshine days, Glorious days!
In this month our classic poets flex their lexicons with verse that describes all manner of events. The weather may be warm or windy, showers, squalls and storms may momentarily darken skies with grey foreboding but Nature will soon be at work again on a palette of such bright and dazzling hues that the landscape is reborn again.
