00:00I'm one of the senior Druids, which means that I'm ahead of the Druid order.
00:27I'm here to celebrate the solstice. I'm here four times a year to celebrate the solstices
00:32in equinox, in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Today is one of the very important
00:38ones because we know as a leap of faith from today, the sun will return and the days will
00:44get longer, the nights will get shorter and it's what we call the returning of the sun.
00:51It means spending time together as a family and there's something really meaningful about
00:59doing something that people have been doing for thousands of years. It just feels incredibly
01:04meaningful and there is a real pull. Having been here once, I felt really compelled to
01:10come back.
