You'll be telling us you're sunbathing next. My sister is staying with us just now and before she left Edinburgh the sun was setting at 3:45pm - you probably get slightly longer daylight in London.

We have shoots but not flowers. I would like to see a current newspaper in that photo! Saying that, the blue tits are cleaning out the nesting box.

simmo Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 winter solstice was 21st dec and from here every day gets longer until the summer solstice. Unless you are in Australia then I presume its the opposite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are in Australia then I presume its the opposite. You presume correctly. The 21st Dec was our longest day and now our days will be getting a bit shorter.

Toots Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Our days are noticeably getting longer and spring is in the air. I thought this winter in Tassie was colder than previous winters.

The short days never really bothered me at all. I can't say they made me feel depressed though some people do suffer from SADS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really see a bikes lights in the daytime unless you invest serious money. I wear high viz as well. Plus, it's only a short hop to the train station.
