Winter Solstice.

 

As I've said before in my blog "Today is the Winter Solstice. Tomorrow the daylight will last that little bit longer and the dark nights that little bit shorter."

It's been a hard year, as the uncharacteristic, neglected shape of my garden bears testament. A year of health concerns, with several appointments, with several specialists, but no clear answers.

One is reminded of a Chuck Berry lyric. "Things I used to do, I don't do no more".

Cake Day.

 

I think I've been falling off the cholesterol wagon a little of late. But on certain days, there can never be no treats.
