Winter Solstice.

Sol = sun

Sistere = stand still

The evenings should be getting lighter, in theory...But in practice it seems to take a wee while before it is noticable!

The Romans celebrated the feast of Saturnalia on this day, and the Pagans celebrate Yule!

We managed a round of winter golf this morning in the dry! Lots more heavy rain forcast for the next few days!

White Christmas??? On the tops of the fells maybe!

P.S. The world didn't seem to end...
