Shortest Day, yippee

I woke up late this morning!

Today is the shortest day of the year.

The Winter Solstice marks the point when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted furthest away from the sun.

The sun rose at 7am and set at 4.54pm.

The winter has not put much of a show this year The cold winter were relied upon to bring much needed rain, but this year they have largely failed to do so.

Guess it will be a dry summer.

Meanwhile, our friends in the Northern Hemisphere will enjoy its longest day. We will have to wait until 21^st December to get ours.

Enjoy your longest day.
