Today 21st Dec is the Winter solstice, shortest day of the year and all that, so the days will start getting longer and the nights shorter :clap2::clap2:

I'm really feeling it this year. I think this has been the longest darkest winter for years.
Sunshine can't come soon enough!

I'm with you Tabby. I hate having to walk the dogs in the dark. But as they say, the nights will now start getting longer:clap2:

Oh I love this time of year as equally as the summer! Where I live and drive to and from work we get some of the most stunning views from the changing weather, especially at this time - I do however dislike January and February because it tends to be damp and dismal.

Still look forward to the 21st though - it's only a couple of months and the daffy's start to come out and after christmas the crocus and snowdrops.

That's an interesting piece of info :)

I shall remember it as it's St Valentine's day!

Roll on as I hate these dark nights and long for Springtime.
