Winter has really set in here in the Dordogne. We've had a few days of snow and some very low temperatures, then a week or so of constant rain and with the coming of the depths of winter some very dark afternoons - and no solar power.

Today - Christmas Day - it's a really beautiful sunny day and a reminder that at this time of the year, the passage from darkness to light begins !

Yuletide greetings to you all.
