Winter Has Arrived!

1st June is officially the first day of winter in the southern hemisphere. This time last year we were still in holiday mode and laughing at all the winter woolies in the shops. This year we're feeling the cooler temperatures a bit more. Doesn't take long to acclimatise!

We were at our friends, Angela and Peter, at the weekend as they were having a barbie to celebrate their first year in Oz. The temperature really dropped about 7pm and we all had to rug up to keep warm. I even had gloves on! Before coming to Australia I wouldn't have believed that I would need gloves here. Mind you, I wouldn't have been able to sit outside in winter in Scotland without a few layers and a winter coat on!

We still have UK summer temperature's during the day - averaging 24 degrees - so it's not all bad. Shorts and t-shirts are still worn during the day but I usually get the joggers on in the evenings. Needless to say the pool hasn't seen much action for a few weeks!
