She’s on her way back!

Anybody have a keyring I could borrow?

Just arrived in Avebury to be here for sunrise tomorrow. Not sure there’s going to be much of one but I fancied doing something to mark the solstice.

Happy Yule everyone. On a hill in the cloud 😶‍🌫️

I don’t think it’s actually going to get light here today and the rain is biblical, I imagine we’re due for some flooding. Roll on warm balmy days.

Yeah, I wish there was book of Mint Sauce cartoons 😉

We had Rainbow Cloudsin the sky this morning to mark the Solstice,which was nice👍😊

What I always wonder at this time of year is why does she take twice as long to reappear than she does to go away? Does she not like returning?

(yes I know about the thermal drag of our climate, hence why January and February are coldest and July and August are warmest. Still doesn’t mean it sucks.)

Woohoo, winter solstice definitely passed, let’s go bring back summer!

Sorry – too much Frozen being watched in my house, mixing up my genres…

Reluctant, do you mean why does sunrise keep getting later until early Jan?

More that the temperatures and weather lag behind the Solstices, so while it may well be the start of the run towards the summer it never feels like it until nearly Easter!

The “this is why…” phrase really has become part of MTB folklore.  Noticed this tiny sticker this weekend on a trail I’ve ridden hundreds of times before.

Solstice sunrise pilgrimage yesterday for work reasons. Sunrise not the best, but nacreous clouds excellent compensation

Just been for a sunset wassail at a local hawthorn tree of note on the river with my wife. Little song, couple of ribbons, and a glug of sherry.

We had nacreous clouds here the last two days, but none today. Been a fine day for a wander in the woods and a little spin down the lane.

This is why…I subscribed to MBUK this year so that Mint has a place to be. Got a really nice print from Jo’s Etsy shop too.
