Discernable changes now we are past the shortest day of the year. Many say the shortest day forms the start of Winter, but I'll assume that the start of December is more appropriate in the United Kingdom.
Persephone may still be in the underworld at the moment, with Demeter lonely and the ground hard, but as I left home this afternoon at around 4pm there was still daylight and even a red sky.
Maybe these are very early signs that the days are lengthening, even if we still have cold and frost. But as I took down some twefth night lights, I could already see early buds forming on the trees. The Eleusinian mysteries may be myth, but hold close to the season.
