Thanks for the replies.

I also found this, which helped too: http://www.larry.denenberg.com/earliest-sunset.html

Now I'm confused on a much higher level.

Can't stand all this joy and laughter......

The mornings go on getting darker until January, and they're darker here in the west than in leeds.

Until the 10th! And your sunrise is at 8:10:01 am, 8 minutes earlier than up here, 8:18:38 am.
Check for yourself!

It usually takes me about a month to start noticing the changing length of days so a while yet!

I've got the 19th on the page related to Harwich, which is the nearest to me for that site.

"In Harwich, Essex, UK, the first day of December is 08 hours, 07 minutes long. The last day of the month is 07 hours, 50 minutes, so the length of the days gets 00 hours, 16 minutes shorter in December 2015."

But the bad news is that we will have to wait an extra day this year for the shortest day. 22nd rather than 21st, as pointed out by classic33.

But last year the solstice was at 23.03 GMT, 21 Dec this year it's at 04.48 22 Dec, so not a full day later.

Can't get my head round this so early in the morning.
I think I'll ovoid the subject til later.

Guilty as charged.

Didn't factor in you being further north as well!
