Happy Solstice!  Lets celebrate the return of more sunlight each day. 

I'd intended to visit a carved rock today in honour of the Solstice....

Snow - lovely snow.  I went out for a short walk. Beautiful.  The sun is just over the top of the studio.

I walked along the lane to the main road - looking north and then south.

  2. Oh, snow, glorious snow. You seem to be enjoying it as much as I am. All the shopping is done, we're almost snowed in but we don't need to go anywhere so it's okay!! Happy Solstice to you too, have a wonderful time!
