The winter solstice
It’s been over a year since I wrote a post mentioning the Ogham Tree Alphabet. The only native British writing system devised 2,000 years ago using various notches on sticks. Each letter also corresponds to a tree and a month or a day of the year. My first post about the alphabet is HERE after I found the book by artist Karen Cater.
The tree for the Winter Solstice is the Scot’s Pine and I’ve been collecting photos of them.
Firstly in the village. I can see this one from my back windows. There are two planted on a green area in the middle of the housing estate behind . They would have been planted when the homes were built in about 1983/4 and are getting rather large.
At Needham Lake. This is a smaller and much younger tree, photo taken on a foggy day back in the spring.
And at Sutton Hoo when we were there in the early Autumn. Growing tall on the sandy soil there
These are the pages from the book that explain it all.
Back Tomorrow
