We might be in what is traditionally the hottest, driest part of summer – but we’re now several weeks past the longest day.

There’s still a very long way to go until the shortest day of the year in June – but we’re now in that transition period where some are noticing the sun getting up a little later and setting a little earlier.  

Let us know by voting in this week’s poll – and tell us where you’re from in the comments!
