Just as well given where you've chosen to live.

Yea, all three days of the British summer are stunning - I'll grant you that.

Hardly typical tho is it? It hit 49 here a couple of NYE's ago, but the average in summer is a very acceptable 25c. What did it get down to in the UK this winter? -22c wasn't it? I think we'll all agree that that's not entirely pleasant either.

I feel much better when I can look up & see blue skies & feel the sun on my face.
Endless grey makes me blue!

I never agreed to that. When did you take that decision?

I have always loved the Sun and after 16 months in the UK & Europe I now worship the Sun and cannot wait to be back home in Adelaide basking in it!
