Finally the winter solstice. From tomorrow day light will lengthen and there are thoughts of the new growing season to look forward to. Even in the garden there are signs of new beginnings. This daisy, though admittedly closed tight against the elements, was in flower four days ago.

Thank you, you are very kind. So good to meet you over, what another blogger has termed, the ‘cyber fence’ and to read all your great posts from Cork. Enjoy the festivities and time with family.
