Winter Solstice

Not much pausing for me! Too much shopping, wrapping and tidying left to do!

We won't notice the difference for a while, but of course it is very welcome.

Happy Winter Solstice to everyone. I count the days becoming longer from now as we turn back to the light.
I agree with lixy, it seems a moment of pause .

Thank you paddyanne - that's beautiful. Happy Winter Solstice to you too.

Hopefully this will cheer DH up. He has SAD and I dread the dark nights as he is so miserable. Not to mention all the bright daylight lights he has on which hurt my eyes.

Thank you for a bit of cheer.

Wishing everyone a peaceful solstice and a gentle return to the lighter days.

I love the solstices when there is that sense of the world holding its breath as the balance changes. Must be my Libran desire for balance coming out.

Scotland in winter can be beautiful but it's so dark for so long! I look forward to lighter nights. Thank you paddyanne

Thanks paddy anne. Its a very odd time of year.

Same to you paddyanne54. My DH reminded me before that it was the shortest day tomorrow. We live on the Lancashire coast facing the sea and the sun will be at it's most southerly point when it sets on the horizon. It will move back northerly each day.
Just praying for a bit more peace in the world for the new year. xx

Thank you paddyanne54 I always begin to feel a sense of relief on 21/12 each year.
