Yes Happy Solstice to all - not out of the tunnel yet, but nearing the Spring side.

Doesn’t actually change much until end of March.
Still dark by 5pm for weeks.

So pleased to be past the shortest day. I hate the dark. Roll on spring.

I saw two daffodil flowers on my walk today. I wonder if they will be left for others to enjoy; or will someone pick them.

Went to a lovely Solstice party the other night organised by a group of Druids. They certainly know how to celebrate the Solstice! Mead flowing galore. ......

Sssd sorry for not elaborating sooner, I’ve been off line for a couple of days. Thanks to keepingquiet for explaining better than I would have done.

FranA I have snowdrops out in the garden, but no daffodils yet. Hope yours stay where they are for everyone to enjoys.

I'm always surprised how quickly the days start to lengthen.
