It's the solstice, the winter solstice. But where is the sun? Now, it's up above the Tropic of Capricorn, the furthest from us. It's the shortest day and the longest night, the year is balancing. Tomorrow the day will be a little bit longer  - perhaps two minutes! We will not notice the difference. This is the depth of winter. What time was sunrise? (Nineteen past eight.) What time was sunset? (Nineteen past four.) How long, how many hours, was the day? Eight hours. Every day sunrise and sunset are twenty minutes (more or less) earlier in London!

Julia McKenzie made a lot of beautiful little birds out of maps - folded pages like Japanese origami. But what kind of bird are they? And why are they significant? They are swallows - considered good luck by sailors, because of showing that land is near. (A swallow is never seen in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.) She painted swallows, too, with maps on their bellies, forked tails and red throats. I love this exhibition.

T hen Stephen married Mary, Mehitabel's younger sister.  So, Mary was Calvin's aunt and his stepmother. Stephen and Mary had a son, Henry. That son was Calvin's half-brother. But as the aunt's son was he also Calvin's cousin?
