To celebrate the summer solstice I found a couple of old poems about joy and summer, and my favourite number - seven! The first poem is called "Laughing Song" ad was written by the incredible William Blake. The second poem was written by Jean Ingelow and is called Seven Times One. There are, in fact, seven poems called Seven Times by Jean Ingelow, each having another title. Seven Times One - Exultation, Seven Time Two - Romance, Seven Times Three - Love, Seven Times Four - Maternity, Seven Times Five - Widowhood, Seven Times Six - Giving in Marriage, and Seven Times Seven - Longing for Home. I am sure you sense a theme!
After the two poems (just Laughing Song and Seven Times One - Exultation) is the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. This episode is to celebrate the Summer Solstice and all things green and flowery!
I hope you enjoy the episode.
Peace,
Simon
