Advent Sunrise (and moonrise too)
The sun put in its first appearance at 9:30 this morning. After three days of cloud and snow it was very welcome!
We took advantage of both the sun and the snow and took our first snowshoe trip of this winter. We went into the forest behind the house because it was very windy and we got a little shelter from the trees, at least until we reached the top of the hill, where we didn't hang around!
Once down again I returned to snow-clearing. I dug out the car and then the kayak tent, then around the tent, and finally around the camper van. All that white gym took a couple of hours and left me fairly drained and very sweaty.
So, back to the house, shower, and cosy indoor clothes.
The extra photo shows another Advent star in another window. Just above the horizon in the background is the full moon rising in the near darkness.
Sunrise 09:30 - already dark by 3 o'clock. Midwinter approaches.
