It's the Winter Solstice today - the shortest day - the beginning of Winter. It is a perfect day.
Today (down here) couldn't be further away from the picture I took yesterday afternoon - all snuggled up warm, candles softly illuminating the house, the drizzle silently falling.
Today it is a glorious day, a marker of a day, a day I've been quite desperate to reach these past few weeks.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the sky is blue - not a cloud to be seen, it's warm and people are (actually) walking around in town with shorts and t-shirts on.......I kid you not.
Yesterday felt like the longest day - today it feels like a shiny, bright new one.
Happy Winter Solstice around the world one all - whether like us you are enjoying this day as it gently unfolds or if you are just entering it - with a great big yawn - or maybe just leaving, making your way up that wooden hill to bed. Depending - of course - on your time zone.
Happy, joyful Winter Solstice.

:: the smallest one and I are still ill - thank you for all your kind words and asking - never has one person felt so run down for such a longtime. Well two weeks really, but it's felt like.........forever! So many apologies if I haven't popped by and I will try and be here on the eve of Christmas. Folks and family allowing.

Isn't it the shortest day? Could be me confused!
So sorry to hear you are still poorly and really hope you feel ok for Christmas day. There have been so many bugs about this year, we have collected a nice (not!) bunch here over the last few weeks - bleugh! Not sure the mild weather helps or not on that front, but it really is perfect outside today. Off to walk the hound and 8 yr old before they both start bouncing off the walls! Hugs, Bx
Oops - my mistake - it is most definitely the shortest (not the longest) day of the year.
Thanks Belinda - all changed - and thanks for the nudge.
