On the Solstice we lit a fire in the back, toasted marshmallows and had hot chocolate with our girls. We also read The Shortest Day (off your recommendation last year!). I then stayed on my own staring into the fire pondering the year we've had (one of my most challenging) and the growth it's brought.
Here's to brighter times for us all.
All the best Andrew, Emma and Benji for the year ahead!
This sounds like a great way to spend the Solstice, Rob. Glad you read The Shortest Day too - such lovely illustrations. Sorry to hear you've had a challenging year and we wish you all the best as you come through the other side...
I've really enjoyed reading about your adventures since I joined substack - this one very much included! And I totally agree about the bizarreness of this time of year. I'm currently referring to it as 'season of midwinter' or some such :0D. In all cases, wishing you all the very best of the season and beyond!

Thank you Amy, I really appreciate the positive feedback! Season of midwinter is perfect - wishing the best of the season whatever that might entail.
