So why aren't most of us still like our ancestors; painted, hairy barbarians indulging in energetic, orgiastic drum banging, day-long out-door rituals? This is my theory; climate change. Not that it's now got warmer. It's crapper.

Take yesterday's Summer Solstice. The longest rainy day of the year. Even my black water proof got so wet it started to drip black, gray dye. It wasn't an earth goddess we should have been hailing, but Poseidon. And our cheery forecasters keep saying, "It'll be surprisingly cool for this time of year."
Makes you want to curl up under a blanket with a bottle of booze, lots of nice things to eat and watch rubbish on telly instead.
Can't think of a festive period that reminds me of.
