Full of cold at the moment else I would have been up the Tor this morning, mind you might have got blown away with the force of the wind at the moment down here.

Get well soon, pity you didn’t manage the Tor. One of these years I’ll make it down for solstice.

Thank you

Looking forward to the spring. Less than seven hours daylight here at the moment and the overcast conditions make it even worse.  You can see why down the centuries this solstice has been celebrated!

join together neath the mistletoe, by the holy oak where on it grows

seven druids dance in seven time, sing the song the bells call chiming 

ring out the solstice bells
