loved this Elizabeth, we spent the day with family, headed up the local hill to watch the sunset. Unfortunately it was a bit dreich here. But I love the idea of not being able to see the change under foot.
Thank you so much for these kind words. It means so much to me you enjoyed the recipe and thank you for sharing the results. It looks (obviously) fantastic.
The cake was a huge hit! We had a gathering with some neighbours and there was just a sliver left. Next challenge: cardamom buns, which I fell in love with and ate every day when we went to Stockholm a few years ago. I hope the post brings more people to your work, Wil. A very happy Christmas to you and your family 💕
I'm so happy to see someone else making Wil's cheesecake. I've baked it 4 times now. It's a head turner for sure.
A farmer friend brought some brunost back from a trip she made to Norway with her mom. It was hilarious to see people [farmers mostly] taste it. It's not like any other cheese that I know of.
So the world is slowly turning with your days lengthening and mine shortening. In this instance it reminds me of a sea saw, as I consider the polarity that governs our life on earth.
Thank you for sharing your view out onto the sun setting and how you are deepening your connection with these rhythms. Another window into your beautiful mind.
Lisa, your comment is so lovely and means so very much 💕. I love that we are at opposite ends of Mother Nature’s dance, and while we will never meet in the middle, hopefully we will meet in real life one day.
It really has! In our house, we were in the midst of an established neighbourhood, with lots of mature trees. It was beautiful but we were completely disconnected from the sky. Now we are blessed to not only see the sky but our view overlooks a large gorgeous neighbourhood that is a green carpet of trees. It’s an ever-changing parade of nature ❤️
I came across it a couple of years ago but had no idea what it would be used for. Along with this cake, I’m sure there are many interesting uses. I’m on it!
And the same to you Betty-enjoy special times with family and loved ones 💕

Thanks so much Alex 💕. A friend told me that she is now marking this day to do something meaningful for herself. It’s an idea I think I have to adopt!
Beautiful words, Elizabeth. This post is pure poetry. P.S. I love cheesecake! That looks really good.
Grazie mille, Giovanna 💕
What a wise, beautiful, poetic reflection on the longest night. How good to read it on the morning of the first lengthening day.
Thank you Maryellen! I am very glad to have you as a reader here 💕

Thanks again!
That would be a lot of pomegranates to eat.
Indeed! But so good for you 😊

Blessings to you at this magical time of year ❤️
Thank you Elizabeth, that is a lovely thought that sees me smiling to myself in the wee hours.
I wish you a very delicious and memorable Christmas with Richard. For some reason I can’t help thinking of Joni Mitchell as I write this. 🙏
One of our very favourite singers 🥰
Mine too.
What a lovely perspective. What we all look so forward to is already underway.
It will be here soon…and in the meantime we can all rejuvenate 💕
Wonderful post, Elizabeth. I share the love for Winter Solstice. We are on the other side now! 💕
Yes! The cycle of life continues 💕
Beautifully poetic- and so interesting how life in a hi-rise changed your perspective on time and light
