~yay Clarice~we are on the upside now and although today is officially the first day of Winter and the worst is yet to come you know that it will get lighter those few minutes every day!Have a happy Christmas and here's to 2010!

Arlene i look forward to this day as soon as we put clocks back. :o)))

Hurrah !!!!
I love this date ;-)))

Thats three of us :o)))

Four of us including me!!!!

and another one makes five.

Count me in! While I love living in an area that has all four seasons, I long for this one to be a wee bit shorter! lol Happy Holidays to all~ Lisa

Happy holiday to you Lisa :o))

happy solstice...;-))

Hoooorayyyyyyyy i say :)

Shortest day ...lifts the spirits...I've been waiting for this too.Correct me if I'm wrong,
,but isn't it 3 minutes lighter every day,or is that starting in January ?
I can't really remember...

I don't mind winter but it is nice to think that Spring is not too far away :)

well thats cheered me up no end! altho' with all this snow and ice about it does seem to stay lighter.... Happy holidays and keep safe...be careful out there... ( remember hill st. blues? american cop show)

I`m cheering as well, Merry Christmas and Very Happy New Year......xx

Thanks Clarice - I'll be glad to see the back of it. By the end of January we'll be able to perceive the days drawing out. The longest day in 2010 is 21st June :-))))

Dawn hoping that day doe'nt come to quick, i'd like the light nights permanently :o)))

Count us in too ! Love the longer days,and glad we have reached the start of them !

We can start to look forward to the spring now Carol :o))

Will do :o))

~ I think from tomorrow its a few minutes every day~ when we used to go to Newcastle for Christmas for two weeks we used to really notice the difference when we came back home!
I am all for keeping lighter evenings as long as possible~maybe we do need to have a look at this Summer time malarkey!

I agree Arlene

Dont know if any one remembers but 1971 or 1972 they did not put clocks back, for 1year to try it out, but my sons and all school children where going to school in the dark and had to wear arm bands.

~nowadays children walking to school on their own is the exception rather than the rule as most parents won't let their children walk because of the perceived threat from child molesters plus there is all this dayglo stuff on bags and trainers etc~it wouldn't be unsurmountable?

Your right, when mine went to school most children walked.

I've been looking forward to today, Carol! :-))))

My late father told me that he remebered when they did a trial and put the clocks forward for 2 hours ..... he said it was light until 10pm in the summer. This must have been in the 1930's or 40's.

So have i Barbara, and tonight it starts, dawn up here in summer with us being on the west coast and the sun sets in the west it is still light at 10 & 10-30 at night.

i thought of that yesterday........... roll on the spring..........

Lucky you Clarice.

Hooray hooray!

It's on the way now but don't wish your lives away too much, looking forward to all that spring /summer preparation though!

Best wishes Clarice

Best wishes to you aswell Mick x
