We officially reached Winter Solstice at 8.50am this morning,
making today our shortest day.
The sun rose at 7.34am and it will set again at 5.07pm.
We almost had a frost today, but had heavy dew instead. I loved the way the dewdrops sparkled on the grass
in the lawn.
There is some cloud in our blue skies, but it isn’t
cold. We reached a high of 15 degrees Celsius
mid-afternoon, but the temperature is dropping now.
My polyanthus plants have started to bloom.
After being out every day this week, today I managed to stay
at home and do some baking.
I made a Coffee Cake, which is always popular with my boys.
For all my Southern Hemisphere readers – stay warm and cozy.
To all my Northern Hemisphere readers – enjoy your longest
day and shortest night!
Cheers,
Margaret xx
