Happy Solstice!

Just a quickie to wish one and all a happy Solstice. I was awake at 4 am and made the right decision to not venture out. It wasn't raining, but the horizon was obscured and I was glad I hadn't sat up all night on the Malverns. Tree and I are observing ritual at the weekend and I think that is the important thing. I mean, if you want to be pedantic, the solstice was actually just after midnight anyway. I think it is a good time to reflect on what has past and where one is going, to feel the balance of light and dark and, like the sun, stand still for a moment.
