Christmas.

And just to really cheer you up,in 12 days time it starts getting darker at night

Really. Umm, I thought that was not occurring untill mid July. Although I don't mind it getting dark early, winters on its way already

You know me Andi never get into an argument on this forum(ha ha) The longest day is the 21 june it is also the first day of summer,I think you are thinking of mid summer which is around the 21st of July.(or somewhere between 21 and 24)
