    Don’t you love when you’re driving along listening to some dramatic music and just as the music swells, you happen to look over as the sun is breaking through the clouds? Beautiful!

    Winter solstice this weekend!

            Remember to jump over the bonfire with your partner holding hands. Preferably before too many mulled wines have been consumed. Alternatively, drive your cattle and other livestock between two bonfires to protect them from disease etc.

            Bearing in mind that a bonfire is newly kindled, that is, you can’t just borrow some fire from your neighbours to start it, you have to make it from scratch.

        Feast, light candles, make lanterns/wreaths, drink mulled wine? I plan on just cheering that the days will start getting a smidge longer!
