I guess first off, we should note the "solstice" is *not* the Bristish equivalent of "equinox" -- they are actually opposites.  The equinoxes occur in April and September, when the day & night are equal length, and the solstices occur in June and December, when the length of daylight and nightime, respectively, are at their longest.
