Other ideas

One of our absolute favourites is carrot cake - and it ’ s so easy to make , too . Try sweetening it with honey or a vegan alternative for a special Midsummer version and enjoy with lots of cream cheese frosting .
Sun baths are a firm favourite ritual . Mix some suncharged water in with sunflower petals , roses , and some herbs that remind you of summer , like mint . Place some sunstone or rose quartz around the bath and light a yellow candle . Or if you ’ re in a pinch , use a summer-themed bath bomb .
