Winter Solstice



Friday 21 Dec 2012

Despite all the hype about the end of the world, we still wanted to recognise the key date in winter's cycle, the winter solstice: 21-12-12.   At our lat/long of  38 42 09 18N   20 41 42 85E  we discovered from an internet search that solar noon would be at 12:36:30 Greek time;  sunrise at 07:52 and sunset at 17:19.  So we were all set to mark those moments on our woodhenge house structure.  But in the event, it was too cold and misty to get out of bed at 07:52 and completely overcast at 12:36:30.  All we did was gather together some of our land’s natural produce and light a candle to give thanks for having such a lovely spot to live in
