Sadness arrives uninvited. Joy demands more—it requires us to search, to kindle, to protect the flame against every wind. When we choose joy despite everything that argues against it, we don't just save ourselves—we illuminate the way for everyone around us.

Happy Winter Solstice!

On midwinter’s day, the sun sets between the pair of stones that form the largest trilithon at #Stonehenge

Farewell to the shortest day of the year, as we look forward to lighter days ahead! ☀️

Happy Winter Solstice. The mists returned to Avalon as we celebrated the return of the light on the shortest day. Tomorrow daylight hours begin to lengthen. It was a beautiful morning on Glastonbury Tor.

In Yorkshire, placing satsumas and coal in Christmas stockings was a tradition with different meanings - one for rewarding good behaviour and the other for punishment.
