December 2022 – Midwinter
Winter is a time of darkness, shorter days and possibly shorter outdoor playtime, and, as John Betjeman’s poem Advent 1955 reads ‘dark at breakfast, dark at tea’. On the face of it, this season can appear gloomy and we look forward to lighter days. However, the darkness of this time of year can offer its own gifts and magic if we take the time to discover them.
