  1. Happy shortest daylight day of the year day!

    The 2024 winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, happens on Saturday, Dec. 21, in the Northern Hemisphere. The celestial event signifies the first day of winter, astronomically.

    Soon be spring lads.

  7. I don't get that. If the shortest day was on the 21st December why are we now going into winter ? surely we should be going into Spring ?

    Has somebody messed about with it like they have messed about with the daylight savings time ? They have taken away a season or added one - its all wrong :D
