I know what you mean, though, it'll always seem nicer somewhere else. I do really loathe the weather here though! LOL I hate the extreme cold, and I melt in Summer. Guess I'm just difficult to please. 
LOLI'm not sure what the stars are for. Post count, maybe?

Yep moon roof is another one that will take some getting to grips with.
Sounds like somewher to stick your bum out of ( which I know in the US means somewhere to eject a street person out of )
All very confusing

I have a similar book to this that my mum (sorry, "mom") gave me. I also have a Cockney-English English-Cockney one which I enjoy confusing the Yanks with. LOL I'm evil.

We lived in the Joburg area where the homes are built like yours in the UK, but with NO central heating. It gets colder than a penguin's mammary in winter - now we've become woosies....
