Dawn at Thornborough Mounds (Romano-British burial mounds)
near Buckingham - 0°56' 51°59.5'

Thanks to David for joining me in celebrating solstice sunrise and making offerings

Sadly, Molly couldn't come with us because she's torn ligaments in her left ankle and knee ...

 

     

the mounds — and the medieval bridge over Padbury Brooke or The Twins

sunset over our compost bins & sheds
ice on our pond a few days before solstice
full moon rise — at its standstill last week

yew tree that gave us greenery
for our yule celebrations (yulery?)

 

 
 
  front door — ivy and yew wreath
(still can't find any wild holly trees near here ...)
living room — going green for the winter greenwood  
   
   
 
 
  snow's on its way (26 December,
across the field opposite our house)
snowing on 27 December — our back garden
