However, I look forward to it because I absolutely loathe the winter......and I mean loathe it. It affects me quiet badly. I love it with a passion, it's nature in all its raw beauty, love the wind, rain snow and frost. Dark nights and short days. It's suits my mood and persona.

Is it because it's the longest night rather than the shortest day maybe and therefore falls between the two...but that would therefore mean the opposite for the summer one. I remember being taught at school that the winter solstice was previously on the 25th (before they added the extra days re Gregorian calendar and all that jazz) and that's how Christianity was encouraged among us pagans. I blame brexit for it. 23 hours ago, WILF said: I find it depressing as f**k, long summer days I feel like superman.....cold grey winter days is like living death to me. I don't find it depressing. It's just that it's wet, cold and everywhere is shit and muddy. 22 hours ago, jetro said: I think I suffer from this terribly lol Atb j There's a serious fault line here !! WARNING, WARNING. Weirdo, pervert alert. ROLL ON GLOBAL WARMING. That's why the Vikings celebrated it. Up, up towards the warmth, plenty and long days of summer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The goat followed us down the road when we left site and i sort of ended up looking after it as some hippy dogs with no livestock manners were hassling it and hence why it's up on the stones and not there for sacrifice as some folk that day asked me.. I thought it was a Jack Russell on the back of a sofa ! Just had a closer look with me readers on lol , 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
