Winter solstice explained & garden jobs

Why do mornings still get darker after the winter solstice  its not something i have ever noticed but as the story says "you will now"
Its all to do with the fact that our days are not all 24 hrs long.  This has the effect of making the earliest sunset on the 10th of December and the latest sunrise not until the 2nd of January - - - interesting - - -


A sensible headline for the Express this morning.  Mind you if its as close as they say 51/49 it will all depend on who bothers to vote on the day!

The mention of minus 5 degrees for the "christmas big freeze" is not supported by many of the weathermen - - -
the resident squirrel was captured tucking into the contents of food for the birds
here's a view from the "other side" of the bird food cam - - -
we finally get the fruit trees into their positions one is in the top greenhouse planted straight into the ground another is outside in a pot and this one is not fully hardy so it will only come out of the bottom greenhouse when the winter frosts have ended.
The RAF rescue chopper passed overhead as we were working it looked to be headed over towards Froggatt Edge - - -
almost 12c this morning the wind is set to get a lot stronger today according to the forecasters
the weathercam shows the clouds fairly scudding along already

Enjoy the day
