Today is Winter Solstice the longest night of the year. It's a great milestone in the gardeners year, as it means it has got as gloomy as it can get and from now on each night will be 5 minutes lighter and before you know it, it will be Spring!
No wonder our ancestors without electric lighting or heating celebrated the fact they had reached the darkest point and were heading back to warmer days and longer days.
