There is NO planet B - what are YOU doing to save our home?

Do something today that your future self will thank you for - plant a tree

 Love your soil - it's the lifeblood of your land.

More in the knowledge than the light for a while, I never think the sunset/rise times really start moving noticeably for a few more weeks.  (Just the occasional minute, not every day, for the mo.)  But knowing we're past the shortest day certainly brings a lightening of the spirits!

Our tups came off today, their spirits went the other way I think!

The Solstice means much more to me than Christmas, which is such a man made and commercial day, and just a day off work for us, apart from seeing to animals, which is rarely 'work'.
I try and get the Christmas lights up and ready and light up at Solstice time to greet the new year and return of light, easy this year at just after 3pm, someday we'll get round to doing a special meal  :) .
One thing I always think re Stonehenge, I would celebrate the first sunrise in the new year, that's the special sunrise :-).
