days like today give me doubts about moving to Oz. Im sat here in my kitchen looking at all the lovely spring plants in the garden. The sun is shining. Ive just seen a lovely big fox walk across my decking and a squirrel run along the fence.

You will change your mind when it's pissing down next month and throughout summer....we could be lucky to get a couple of good weeks together and then there will be a hose pipe ban and schools will shut down due to not being able to cope with the heat.

Think today of what an Australian summer will be like

yeah its easy to be fooled on a spring morning like today .

i just cast my mind back to less than a week ago

It's been foggy in Gloucestershire most of the day - the children have been able to play outside but only for the first time since October!

My Uncle who emigrated in the 50's once told me that there was no difference between his life here and there - but the weather certainly was better!

Im up in the lake district and iv got to agree the past four days have been like paradise, not a cloud in the sky but i have to agree with everyone this is a bloomin one off. Just think nearly every day is like that in oz

We swapped 1 day every now and again of sun (and not many of them to be honest) to EVERY day (except 3 since October) waking up to sun.
We have kookaburras, galahs and rainbow lorrikeets in the garden (beats the common spuggy)and kangaroos and possums in the park by the lake.
I know where I would rather be

Last time I was in Leeds was July last year when we went to book our flights and it absolutely lashed it down ALL DAY. It was so bad we had to take shelter in Whitelocks and comfort ourselves with several pints of Old Peculiar

Make the most of your few 'nice days' but don't worry...when you get over here there will be loads
