Two simple images :

The angel made by my daughter when she was 2. Simple and charming...




And a beautifully simple card sitting on my late father's inkstand in my Mum's dining room.

It should have been his 88th birthday today.

I still miss him.

For all those for whom there is an empty space at the table at Christmas Day...

Love Wend

Today's the day!

17.47, 21st December 2009

A great moment for those with Seasonal Affective Disorder.

The Winter Solstice occurred!

From today the days will get slightly longer...

I don't hate winter as such and love the snow (if I don't have to drive).

But I struggle with leaving home in the dark in the morning and coming home in the dark.

And I hate working in an office with black blinds which block out the light.

I crave the daylight all week and soak it up at weekends.

But the passing of the solstice at 17.47 made me dance around the kitchen.

Now I can celebrate christmas!
