Australians all let us rejoice,For we are young and free;We've golden soil and wealth for toil;Our home is girt by sea;Our land abounds in nature's giftsOf beauty rich and rare;In history's page, let every stageAdvance Australia Fair.
I'm sorry but when the temperature goes below zero in this land of Golden Soil I seriously re-evaluate why I emigrated here.
If I wanted to scrape frost off my windscreen in the mornings I'd still be living in Ireland!!!
I found myself wishing for summer to arrive yesterday evening as I stepped out of the bath with the boys. Oh to have central heating. But today was a reminder to me that I just love winter. Yes, it's cold indoors (and first thing and last thing), but the days are glorious. Mostly.
