A Lussekatter bun baked and eaten during the winter solstice in Scandinavia. Baked for us by Bjorn and Sarah at Crillo.

In the foreground a platted saffron and almond length, another baked treat from Crillo. In the background Miller’s wine about to be used for mulled wine.

Ginger cookies, another item for our impromptu solstice “feast’.

Customers, who unknowingly, about to celebrate solstice.

Even the dog didn’t realise even though there was going to be free food (and wine).

The man with the limp wrist baked the bickies with the Miller’s ‘M’ on them.

Craig creates a solstice roast.

The baby is stoked to meet the solstice princess.

After roasting Craig brews the mulled wine.

The solstice roast looks beaut

As through the espresso machine.

Solstice time.

Explaining its now the time when the Sun begins to return south.

Explaining that there is wine here to celebrate the Sun and its return. But only is you wish to.

Craig starts the pour.

Solstice princess, Pacific style.

We drink to the Sun.

Solstice is about regeneration.

Another round.

Keeping the espresso going.

Weird how people do this.

They learn coffee young at Miller’s.

Who wants a whine.

Have a wine.

Another round.

The last of the solstice wine.
