I hope you all had a beautiful Solstice!
The morning after the Winter Solstice we went to Stonehenge to welcome the return of the Sun.
This ancient monument is located on Salisbury Plain, and historians are not entirely sure what its intended purpose was. It is aligned with the Sun and may have been used for working out the farming calendar. Other considerations are that it was a healing centre, or dedicated to the world of our ancestors.
Whatever its intended use, it was incredible to walk in the footsteps of our Neolithic ancestors today, and it was good to be back, as I’ve not celebrated Winter Solstice at Stonehenge for ten years.
It was extremely cold, we are still defrosting!
What did you do to celebrate the Solstice?
