Hi, I'm Perris. I live in the Gower peninsula in Wales, an area of outstanding natural beauty, and I'm interested in self-sufficiency because I'd like to help to try to keep it that way. I expect to learn a lot here, and in due course contribute to the collective wisdom.

Welcome, There are some really good hearted people on this site. Who are willing to share their knowledge and wisdom.

What's your first question?

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

that's amazing; I guess it's because we're not long past the equinox. You must be a lot further south than us. We're at 52N, about level with some of Alaska, Newfoundland etc..

I am at latitude 59 so a little further north.

I just discovered the problem with discussing day length.... there are different ways to measure day length.

Most people (and when you do a Google search ) it shows the length of day including civil twilight which starts when the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon and ends when the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon.

Twilight, Dawn, and Dusk

Twilight is the time of the day when the Sun illuminates the Earth's atmosphere even though it is below the horizon and not directly visible.

www.timeanddate.com

If you compare day length between places, using only the "day" which measures when the sun is right at horizon, then the difference between one latitude and another isn't as large.

Kind of mind blowing actually.

Right now my place at 59 degrees latitude the daylength is

7:54 am -7:49 pm
Or
8:36 am - 7:07 pm


Way down at Latitute 29

Daylength
6:56 am -7:18 pm
Or
7:20 am - 6:54 pm

Autumn is just starting here, the 'season of mist and mellow fruitfulness', but the nights are drawing in fast.

We are past last harvest and rolling quickly down into winter.
