Title: Looking on the Bright Side Post by: Val Beechey on December 21, 2015, 03:36:21 PM Today is the Winter Equinox, the shortest day. So looking on the bright side, it's all down hill towards Spring from here on in.
Will it make any difference ? I doubt it but we can always hope. Title: Re: Looking on the Bright Side Post by: Greg on December 21, 2015, 04:07:40 PM I have always looked at the 21st December as the start of another slide to a warmer period, as I get older the slope seems steeper and omg it's the 21st June again.
Title: Re: Looking on the Bright Side Post by: probono on December 22, 2015, 12:15:17 AM Well, it's certainly quite a warm 21st for once.
Off work now until the New Year - and hopefully getting a bit of detecting in Up North too.... Am looking forward to the brighter days, although that does usually mean less land to detect on.....

Is it true that we get 2 minutes extra light per day from here on.

So continuing the weirdness that is Glastonbury....... Bright Blessings ;) (http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv294/Chef_02/yule.gif) Title: Re: Looking on the Bright Side Post by: handyman [Alan} on December 22, 2015, 08:53:37 AM whoopeee summers coming! ;D ;D
Title: Re: Looking on the Bright Side Post by: Val Beechey on December 22, 2015, 08:58:35 AM Ha Ha Ha I'll have to add Equinox and Solstice to my bowl and bowel syndrome Geoff. It comes with age, you know.
Actually the Solstice was at midnight, I think, so take your pick which day, yesterday or today. Love the card . |
