Sorry for being picky Simon, but Mid summers day is not until 24th June as
it is a quarter day, today is the first day of summer (The summer solstice)

So the Scandinavians (who celebrate it on 24th) got it right all along?
Please could you explain?

Probably the date you notice the days shortening, like Yule being
celebrated c.24 December.

We used to celebrate it too.. Bring it back...
