Daarrrlings, send in your voice note confessions to the new Welcome To Hell Hotline: 07495997262! 

This week Daniel delivers a sermon on why the seasons need to be shuffled and how the world could benefit from adopting the Foxx Calendar™. Meanwhile, Dane argues the case for the best musical the stage has ever known.

The infernal aunties also take umbrage with the attention seeking life expectancy of berries and hear about a tempt thy neighbour from inside the Vicarage.

Omg Daniel, I have such strong feelings on the seasons! The astronomical dates you mentioned are arguably the middle of the seasons. 21-ish June is traditionally called 'midsummer' and 21-ish December is called 'midwinter' because they are the longest and shortest days so technically the middle of the seasons! And likewise 21 March/Sept are the equinoxes because they're when day/night is even, so the middle of the changing seasons. So if we respect the sun (and darlings why wouldn't we?!), the seasons should be: Spring - Feb to April Summer - May to July Autumn - August to October Winter - November to January This also lines up with many traditional seasonal celebrations like Imbolc on 1st Feb for the start of spring. And Samhain on 1st Nov for start of winter. Etc etc. And lots of seasonal signifiers in the natural world line up too, like daffodils in February, leaves often beginning to turn in August. But obvs where you live has a big impact on how early spring and autumn arrive. So my true take is that the dates above are the general jist of the seasons, but the arrival of spring and autumn is something that should be declared locally based on how the plants are behaving, not declared from up high (usually by bloody Londoners!) I do concede that the start of autumn being August is a reach in many places, so agree that autumn is generally the shortest. Lots of love and glad to find someone else as passionate about this, even though you're wrong xoxo
