An English folk song for Midsummer.

This song is called Pleasant and Delightful, it is a combination of traditional rural folk song and sea shanty.  It starts with a rural summer scene then moving to a love story about a sailor and his sweetheart.

2012 Season Opens

The course fishing season opened in England on the 16th June, this means an early rise for the keen angler so he can be on the bank at sun rise. Such activity has its benefits; peace away from other people, the cool damp air of the midsummer making thin mists on the water, the multitude of bird song including the various nocturnal species busying themselves before sleep.
