So this year we decided to take a lot of notice of the solstice. We were up at dawn to watch the sun rise.
So this year we decided to take a lot of notice of the solstice. We were up at dawn to watch the sun rise.
The winter solstice sun as seen from our house rises exactly in this tiny notch in the hillside
The strawberry plant gave us a gift for the day (to our suprise)
Lots of lovely people came to sit in the field and drum, rattle and roll to celebrate the turning of the year. From left: Panos, Dmitris, Liana, Kate, Vangelis, Nanda, Jacqueline, Dave (with Mafia) and Lucy. Ten of us in all: four Greek, two Dutch, four British. A very nice group and a fabulous warm sunny day
Musicians' congress
Some quickly rustled up snacks and tea. Nanda (centre) was extremely pregnant, and gave birth next day to a baby girl.
Later that day, chilling out with peanut butter and crackers. Camera on auto, left me in shadow, so Dave took a proper photo (below)
At the end of a lovely day, solstice sunset
