Thank you Alan. I did say a silent Yippee this morning at the thought of it being the shortest day. I know things don't move very quickly but at least psychologically we've now reached a turning point and that makes these horrible long dark nights a little easier to bear. Hope springs eternal! Just wish some of the aching arthritis joints could have a similar improvement to look forward to !

Funny how we don't even note the difference until a few more weeks but how psychologically it is such an important event. Like Primrose I also said Hallelujah when the weatherman announced it this morning.

And the mornings don't start getting lighter until the beginning of the second week in January
