Happy solstice


England's long dark nights and grey days have given me new appreciation for the seasons.

This winter hasn't (yet) been as bad as some - I haven't spent 3 weeks fighting the urge to hibernate, as I did last year, and can blame the 2 week 'flu I had for having had no energy.

But 'tis no wonder ancient peoples celebrated the solstice and made offerings to the gods to ensure the spring would come again.

I've marked solstice for more than a decade - but never quite with the simple class of like this card from Tess. Cool - innit?
