We have our Hungarian family staying with us over Christmas. Nothing goes to waste with these two, not even the old fallen apples.
Tonight we have home made Hungarian apple pie (almáspite) with a Pálinka of course. 👌😋

✨ Winter Solstice ✨
Although the solstice marks the beginning of winter and we yet to move into the depths of winter, today we welcome the return of the light.
The days start getting longer as the Northern Hemisphere tilts back towards the sun, adding roughly a minute of daylight daily.
And just like the Sun seems to pause in the sky, we too pause and reflect on this past year, and ponder what we learnt and what wisdom we want to carry on into the new year.
