I have to agree with John Pickard on this one it is our Winter Solstice. Globes and maps are all made the wrong way round. Even the clocks move in a strange way ;-) If this hemisphere had got in on the act first we would have properly had the clocks running anti clockwise ;-)
I have just watched a beautiful sunset after a glorious bright winters day and am looking forward to a longer day tomorrow.
