June is National Rose Month, with the National Red Rose Day on the 12th. 🌹

June also always feels like the month when folklore fully wakes into the light. Perhaps it's because so many traditional customs gather around Midsummer and the Summer Solstice. Bonfires on the hills, herbs gathered at their most potent, sacred wells, stories of fairies, dreams, and the strange folklore surrounding fern seed all seem to belong to this time of year.

Something is fascinating about a season so full of sunlight, also carrying so many tales of magic, blessing, and hidden knowledge. The longest day of the year has inspired stories for centuries, and it's easy to see why.

Do you have a favourite piece of Midsummer folklore?

Not his best
I did not think this was as good as the previous novels i have read in the series. Although the story was clever and had lots of different characters it relied to much on your knowledge of the Scottish peerage system and a lot of it went right over my head. There were too many acronyms and codes for various departments and to be honest i got bored with trying to figure out what they were supposed to represent. I would say this is the worst out of the series so far :( It wont put me off though and i will be reading book 8 soon :)
