The Shortest Day

Its ok for you lot, we just had the longest day so the downhill ride has begun, and as far as I can tell summer hasn't started here yet.

Enjoy your Christmas pud's, etc - I think I'll go and see if I can go and trade our warm weather fare in for some of the same. But a good excuse to get into the cooking brandy /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is:
What if my leaves are falling like its own?
The tumult of thy mighty harmonies

Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone,
Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,
My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!

Drive my dead thoughts over the universe
Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth
And, by the incantation of this verse,

Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth
Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
Be through my lips to unawakened earth

The trumpet of a prophecy! O, Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Er, is that wot you meant?
 
and here's me thinking it was 24 hours just like the rest of 'em - apart from BST changes of course!

here in the park
its awfie dark
thought it was a lassie
no very classie
turned oot it wiz a shark ... going by ra teeth marks
 
Actually the evenings have been getting lighter for the last 10 days - I'm surprised you didn't notice /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

On the other hand mornings will continue to get darker for another few days yet /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
