Re: Winter
Hi Lou
Seems like you are getting a renewal of Winter! Brrr!
It isn't too bad here at this stage,but they are also predicting another cold snap end of this Week,but hopefully not like the last one when we too had Snow!
Yes Irene and myself are looking forward to your arrival,and I know Richard and Roger are eagerly awaiting the Saturday when the BBQ is on here!
I am hoping that the long range Weather forecast is not correct,and that we will at least have a few good days while you are here!
So until then Lou,take care and we will see you soon!
Don't expect a luxury House mate,as its just a simple one,but as said with lots of love in it!
Cheers
Vernon

Re: Winter
Lou we had a very mild start to winter here in Melbourne right up until first week of July. We were away for the last two weeks of it and apparently it was the coldest for years. Warm now but next week, back to Siberia I fear.

If you are putting it in the Sporan then make sure it is spelt with an E and not an A.

Re: Winter
