YULETIDE GREETINGS

[invisiblepiper]

Today is the Winter Solstice - our shortest day - so tomorrow is really new year, when the sun is 'reborn'.
Go burn a log to rid yourselves of last year's troubles - then tonight light a candle to welcome next year's aspirations - some very old traditions indeed.
..........and season's greetings!

Best wishes for Yule!
We usually have our 'Christmas' dinner on this day (buffet on the 25th which is prepared on the 24th), but both daughters are full of cold and feeling a bit down in the dumps, so we'll be having it between Christmas and New Year this time so I'm going to clean up my old bike instead. I'm hoping to be able to start riding it to the allotment, which should cut out about 10 minutes traveling time each way, giving me an extra 20 minutes there.

Have fun everyone.

Have a good one folks,

We have just put our Yule log on the stove now the Sun has set. It's a piece of an old apple tree we saved especially for tonight & with stove doors open the whole room is filled with the sent of apples, (VERY Pagan )

[invisiblepiper]

Then Happy New Year MMM!

[Milims]

Seasons greetings to you all! We kind of missed last night so tonight we are going to celebrate the first of the shorter days (IYKWIM!) with a bonfire. I guess this means I have to go in search of marshmallows to toast!

brightest blessings to all!
we had a lovely day of being together, then we had a fire in the garden (contained in the old washing machine BBQ lol) and welcomed the sun back.
