Sharing Patsy's weather in the south west of England. It's 2.58pm and -1 degree C. Looks bleak and grey, tho the cloud cover is only thin. There was still frost on top of the hedge at 10.30 this morning.

Sandra, I remember those unpleasant humid summer nights in Sydney, and I don't miss them at all. At least here we can be warm inside with the central heating, and turn it down a bit at night and be very comfortable. Of course we have to put on layers of clothes to go outside, which tends to keep us indoors a lot and can lead to feelings of cabin fever. I'm looking forward to when spring comes - my first spring on this side of the world!
