Yes, nowadays, it's thought that Stonehenge was mainly used for Winter Solstice celebrations. A big party roasting lots of pork joints and lots of drinking of course  :lol: Sounds like fun  :)

What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.

Every year I wait for this day - I hate the cold, dark, dismal winter days. I don't mind if they're cold, but bright so that we can wrap up warm and get outside for a while.  I keep looking to see the first signs of the flowers on the winter flowering honeysuckle shrub, then the very early crocus, shortly followed by the snowdrops and before you know it, Spring it here!

Yay!

Now to tackle the jungle of browning montbretia which really gets on my nerves around now!

And the Japanese Anenomes...

Hmm. Depends on your view and if it falls on your birthday rather than being put off till the day after.
