Here in London there were 7 hours, 49 minutes and 48 seconds between sunrise and sunset today. This is important because yesterday it was only 7 hours, 49 minutes and 43 seconds. Yes, we gained 5 extra seconds of sunlight. Now that might not sound like something to get excited about but what it means is....

Yesterday was the Winter solstice - the shortest day of the year. Thankfully the daylight hours will now start to get longer and longer. I can't wait ;-)
If you want to check your local
sunrise and sunset times there is a great calculator on the Time and Date website.
Here are a few of our favourite sunrises and sunsets - most taken on holiday.
