Thank you Alan. Bring on Springtime.

Indeed. Yule does mark the turn and has for a couple of millenia, probably.
May spring arrive early in 2019.

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 !

It's after new year I notice the difference when it's light till after 4-30

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

Every year, immediately after Christmas, I buy a bunch of daffodils and pick a few hazel brunches to see in the New Year ...... It's so nice to look forward.
