Solstice celebrations anyone?

Walking Bruce at 0730hrs and it's still dark reminded me how far North the Brisish Isles really are.

Open the curtains

Joint earliest sunset at Celine Towers was the 13th and 14th according to the calculator I use. It was 3 seconds later on the 15th. Latest sunrise is not until the 27th.

Seconds I’m impressed, the chart I looked at was only in minutes.

Senior Managements Birthday today. As a child she thought she was being short changed as her birthday is shorter than everyone else's

Sunrise (as seen from) Celine Towers almost coincided with the solstice.

Actual sunrise (without hills in the way) would have been about 40 minutes earlier.

I hope you also adjusted for refraction

I think the wind was a bigger problem. It's blowing a hoolie and the sun was going into a headwind.

It is in my house, especially on Pernod and duck-egg night.

I was not aware of this tradition!

Will pencil it in for Dec 21 2025 ...

I did get a chance for a pedal to Pitsford Reservoir for the sunset today...
