Ah, June, the smell of freshly cut grass hiding the stench of your wellies that you've fished out for a weekend of marching around in the quagmire.
With summer solstice fast approaching, we thought it time for our half-year reflection period to begin in earnest. Over the coming weeks we'll be listing, ranking and chatting about the year so far... To kick things off, here's the seventh episode of our podcast which does what it says on the tin.
