It is true scholars debate over whether Dec 25 is the actual day Christ was born. Part of the problem has to do with the day fixed to our calendar. There are various reasons one might chose this day for celebration; it falls days after the solstice and various peoples commemorate rituals in this time of year.

Rofl .. well that's just our opinion of ourselves. On a more positive note we are very hospitable people - so if you do make a journey - we keep a welcome in the hillside lol.. and you can have a cuppa and a welshcake any time!!:) more…
Hmmmm I can smell the marshmallows cooking on the open fire... with the smell of burning flesh because they have been jammed onto the ends of my toes :D
Log fire... snow outside... hot chocolate... mince pies... is it christmas yet, is it... are we there yet... more…

Yes indeed Tylluapenry :) Do you find a Yule Log for winter solstice? The search is enjoyable lol even if don't find one I'll be happy to be out there as long as its not raining! more…

Without this the blog just becomes a solitary place like a diary, and that's ok if people want to just write a diary - but I prefer the interraction:)

I had a similar experience many years ago, only in Grosmont (I think) on the Welsh border with England. A tiny pub, a single room, flagstone floor, old oak settles, beer from a bottle and not on tap, a resident 'character' or two.... for years I thought I'd dreamed it. Then I discovered it was quite a famous pub in the area, prized for its cider more…
Hi Martin - the funny thing about echinacea is that although 'research' tells us it doesn't work, everyone I know who has tried it finds it does. A lot of the knack is in using a good brand (a lot of cheaper brands simply don't pass muster) and using it properly. I'd certainly recommend it, I find it helps me a lot. more…
