The days are getting longer... Well, one day is. Next Tuesday, to be precise.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Re: Solstice
Wow! Glad you told us that. I would have been so worried if you had not said anything.
Probably put it down to old age.

Re: Solstice
Here it is at last; the long awaited December Solstice. Now we can cheer up and look forward to a bit more light and bit less dark.
Feel a bit happier perhaps and nothing to do with all those rubbish festivities.

Re: Solstice
A new solar cycle has begun, day-light will increase by the day so will the happiness of my friends, ....at least, that is what I hope.

Re: Solstice
I worry that winter hasn't even started yet, we're getting the gales and the rain but apart from a few days of 1°/2°C we're getting morning temperatures of 10 to 13°C.

Re: Solstice
The Solstice is past, though well celebrated.
Let's hope 2016 is a good year. Particular thoughts go to friends in Ballater who have been affected by flooding, and people everywhere affected by both natural disaster and man made war and famine. Let us strive for a better world!
Happy New Year!

Re: Solstice
Thank you Lewis, a better world is sure needed. Ballater is my home.
My house is at the far end of this road river (pic taken weds morning)
We are all safe, not one fatality which I'm astounded by having escaped just in time through raging flood water. 300 or so folk homeless, stats being collected. Our community spirit is tremendous and we have love, support and practical assistance coming from far and wide.

Glad to hear no serious casualties, well, discounting damage to property - which is mostly replacable. And glad you are getting the right kind of help.

Re: Solstice
Unbelievable, I am not able to identity this place where, I'm sure, Fia recently showed me around.

Re: Solstice
It's taken from the main street in Ballater, Elio. Fia's house is at the far end. I was there for a flying visit on Monday. Can't believe it was all under water by Wednesday.Gottard wrote:Unbelievable, I am not able to identity this place where, I'm sure, Fia recently showed me around.

Re: Solstice
Here's wishing everyone a very happy June solstice and the day that allegedly the northern summer begins. I guess the days also start getting a little longer and the nights a bit longer. All the same to me really!
Re: Solstice
Happy Summer Solstice to you all. Less rain and and more sun would be appreciated on the Alpine region.
