I'm with Richo on this one.   It's the longest night and the shortest day.

I think it's really midwinter isn't it?  If you read back a little julia, you'll see that youcan said it was a mistake... So there you go.. It's no big deal.

 

youcan think of all the poor people who were up at 4am to set up their market stalls....  we were just coming home from a night out and I don't remember ever being so cold

I just love the winter, but wish it was the northern hemisphere, all the snow on the mountains, the frozen lakes and waterfalls, icicles, watching the ice skating .... white Christmas etc.
